Indie Lens Pop-Up, presented by ITVS, INDEPENDENT LENS, and WNIN will host a screening of “The Tuba Thieves,” featuring a discussion with guest speaker from Optimal Access. Directed, written, and produced by hard of hearing filmmaker Alison O’Daniel, the film uses a series of tuba thefts in Los Angeles high schools as a jumping-off point to explore the nature of sound itself, through several d/Deaf people telling stories in the film equivalent of a game of telephone.Between 2011 and 2013, tubas were stolen from high schools across Southern California. While reporters focused on the thieves, O'Daniel was curious about the impact of the thefts on the students and school communities. She wondered how these thefts were altering the sound of the bands, which ultimately led her to question the role of sound itself and what it means to listen. In “The Tuba Thieves,” O'Daniel explores the question of sound, prioritizing a form of storytelling in which information collides and is allowed to be misunderstood. In prioritizing Deaf and hard of hearing communication, she generates new sensitivity to sound and meaning.
Event Details: Thursday, May 23rd at 5:30pm at the WNIN Public Media Center in Downtown Evansville. This event is free to attend, but reservation is required. Seating is limited.
