When this documentary from Sam Green (The Weather Underground) premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, the score was performed live by composer JD Samson (of Le Tigre) while Green provided narration for the film, and the audience wore noise-canceling headphones. This experience will be available at select screenings as the film rolls out to theaters, but there will also be an immersive version without the live component for theatrical and home viewing. As the title suggests, the film is organized around 32 different sounds and how they evoke different emotions, thoughts, and memories in each person listening and experiencing what Green has designed.
