About the Show
by Alison O’Daniel
Alison O’Daniel’s debut feature film is framed by a mysterious rash of tuba thefts from Los Angeles schools in the early 2010s. Using the absence of this central instrument for these bands as a starting point, O’Daniel’s film asks what it means to listen. Alongside collaborations with other Deaf artists, such as Christine Sun Kim and the drummer Nyeisha “Nyke” Prince, the film weaves in re-enactments of significant historical concerts in which audiences experienced music through silence—the premiere of John Cage’s 4’33’, the last punk show at San Francisco’s Deaf Club, and Prince’s surprise concert at the Deaf university, Gallaudet, on his Purple Rain tour. O’Daniel’s genre-defying film radically reorients the possibilities of what a d/Deaf cinema might sound like. 2023, US, American Sign Language and English with open captions, DCP, 91 min.
Both screenings will be introduced by Alison O’Daniel. There will be a Q&A following the screenings.
