Lost and Sound (2012)

This intimate and uplifting feature-length documentary follows pianist Holly, music critic Nick and dancer Emily as they journey to rediscover music after hearing loss. Directed by a partially deaf filmmaker after the future of her own hearing was called into doubt, Lost and Sound explores both the challenges of hearing loss for its cast of music-lovers and the beauty of sound and music when it's experienced through the prism of deafness. Featuring Neuroscientist and New York Times bestseller Dr David Eagleman, composer Professor Nigel Osborne MBE and music psychologist Dr Katie Overy, Lost and Sound investigates the human brain's extraordinary adaptability and - with the help of animation and a glorious soundtrack - tells the story of the great human love affair with music. World premiere: SXSW 2012.
