The Joy of Sound / La Felicidad del Sonido (2016)

Directed by Ana Endara Mislov
Genre: Documentary

Synopsis: What we hear is a vibration in the air, a vibration no one sees. Sound is invisible, but it drives us; it makes us cry, laugh, remember and dance; it rattles our insides, it moves us. Through a series of outlandish characters, The Joy of Sound takes the viewer on a voyage of the senses, as it reflects on nature, communal life, solitude and silence.
