Overview
TOUCHING THE SOUND is an experimental documentary that synesthetically re-interprets the sound heard and generated by people whose fundamental human values are under threat. The film's immersive 7.1-channel sound invites the viewers to resonate with and empathize with the tremors of the people confronting panhuman crises such as climate change, gentrification, and war. Through a series of omnibus stories unfold in Gwangju, Jindo, Istanbul, and Tsogttsetsii in Mongolia, the film explores the sonic expressions of people on the edge-between life and death, settlement and wandering, and memory and oblivion-through a tactile experience.
