Sam Green’s last film “A Thousand Thoughts” was a documentary about the Kronos Quartet, but his challenge was getting people to “hear” the film because everything about the medium is visual.
When it came to his next project, “32 Sounds,” the documentary feature shortlisted for Oscar, he set out tell a story specifically about sound and the aural experience. Green assemblies 32 different scenarios in an attempt to challenge how audiences think about sound.
In one scene, foley artist Joanna Fang is in a studio drumming her feet and tugging on ropes as she imagines what a falling pine tree landing in snow would sound like. Elsewhere, sound pioneer Annea Lockwood shares decades-old recordings of underwater sounds of a river. In another scenario, a man blasts the Phil Collins hit “In the Air Tonight” as he drives through Brooklyn.
In many of the scenes, sound designer Mark Mangini worked with...

One may think filmmaker Sam Green’s 32 Sounds is aimed at the sound community, but with his immersive exploration of the noises we hear, Green says he hopes to reach general audiences and inspire them to “hear the world in a different way.”
Sound designer Mark Mangini feels the same way, pointing to the narrative power of sound — for instance, the voice of Green’s late brother, preserved on an old answering machine. “That’s a very powerful moment in the movie for us,” says Mangini of the emotional segment during which Green listens to this recording. “We think that helps audiences connect with a vital aspect of their lives that they aren’t really aware of.”
32 Sounds begins with Green and composer Jd Samson speaking directly to viewers before proceeding on a journey through the auditory world, from the aforementioned answering machine recording to the work of...

Sam Green wants you to stop and listen for a second. Like, really listen.
The Bay Area documentarian wants you take in the world around you, one curated noise at a time. It might be church bells, cicadas, wind chimes, or rushing currents. He may throw a few sonic curveballs your way as well — violins could quickly turn into explosions, or Philip Glass gently noodling on a piano might suddenly give way to the extremely loud buzzing of a fly. Occasionally, Green will ask you to close your eyes, the...

Humans have five senses, whereas cinema is limited to just two, sight and sound. We often hear how movies are a visual medium, but what about the other, invisible half? Filmmaker Sam Green (“The Weather Underground”) wants to get audiences thinking with their ears as much as their eyes, constructing an immersive, audio-driven essay film that focuses our attention on sound: how it works, what it can do and the way that specific noises can either unlock memories or spark entirely new ones.
Full to 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. “Enrich our lives?!” I can practically hear you asking. If that sounds like too grandiose a goal, consider this: Unless you’re a musician, an audio engineer or an otolaryngologist,...
