1 in 7 of us will experience some kind of deafness in our lifetime. So what would happen
to the music you love, if your hearing was lost? Made by a partially deaf filmmaker after
the future of her own hearing was called into doubt, Lost and Sound is a moving and
fascinating documentary that follows music critic Nick Coleman, dancer Emily Thornton
and pianist Holly Loach over 2 years, as they journey deep into sound and silence to rediscover music after deafness. The film weaves its way through a startling world of
altered sound. It combines intimate filming with original animation, a rich musical
soundtrack (often manipulated to reveal what deafness actually sounds like), and new
insights from the world’s top neuroscientists, to tell the story of the great human love
affair with music.
