Filmmakers: Alison O’Daniel (Director, Writer, Producer), Su Kim (Producer), Maya E. Rudolph (Producer), and Rachel Nederveld (Producer).

Description:

Indie Lens Pop-up Screening of The Tuba Thieves --The central mystery of this unconventional documentary isn’t about theft; it’s about the nature of sound itself.

What is the role of sound and what does it mean to listen? Hard of hearing filmmaker Alison O’Daniel uses a series of tuba thefts in Los Angeles high schools as a jumping-off point to explore these questions. Through several d/Deaf people telling stories in a unique game of telephone, the central mystery of The Tuba Thieves isn’t about theft of instruments; it’s about the nature of sound itself.

A discussion & audience engagement following the film.

Parking is free.
