“One of the most blissful moviegoing experiences I’ve ever had… playful and profound… It’s the greatest documentary you’ve ever heard.” Rolling Stone
"Bursting with humor, emotion and curiosity, ’32 Sounds’ is a uniquely mind-expanding plunge into a dimension of the human experience so many of us take for granted, a rare and rewarding sonic journey with the potential to enrich our lives." Variety
“[A] relentlessly curious documentary” with “lingering gravitas. “With the narrator and musicians seated in front of the movie screen, proudly displaying their processes, the effect is as though one has unscrewed the top of a traditional documentary to expose its busily whirring component parts.” New York Times
"A delightful, joyous film that changes the way you look at — or maybe listen to — the world." Vox
32 Sounds
An immersive documentary and profound sensory experience from filmmaker Sam Green that explores the elemental phenomenon of sound. The film is a meditation on the power of sound to bend time, cross borders, and profoundly shape our perception of the world around us. The film was shortlisted for the Oscar for “Best Documentary”. 32 Sounds exists in three unique and equally exciting forms: one for a live audience, complete with individual headphones for each audience member and featuring live narration by Sam Green and live original music by JD Samson; another specifically designed for a completely immersive at-home experience; and a theatrical version of the film coming to a theater near you.
