Chinook Film Group

This film is a remarkable sound journey with Evelyn Glennie, a Scottish Grammy winning classical percussionist. She is also profoundly deaf. Her energy and incredible ability fascinates the renown German Director and Cinematographer, Thomas Riedelsheimer. Evelyn Glennie invites the director and his crew into the meditative world that allows her to literally hear with her body. Together they map this world of the senses, hearing images and seeing sound.

There is a belief that without vibrations or oscillations there is only statis, there is nothing. Riedelsheimer enters this universe of sound and rhythm through Evelyn who experiences these phenomena in a way that almost no one else can. In her world even colours ‘speak’.

A long list of nominations and awards have honoured TOUCH THE SOUND including:
The 2005 Golden Lola, German Film Awards for Best Sound, the Critics Week Award, Locarno International Film Festival and the Special Mention Award for Best Documentary- Bangkok International Film Festival.

TOUCH THE SOUND is the feature presentation of the Chinook Film Group for Wednesday, March 15th and will be preceded by a short film- the groundbreaking OIO. The evening will commence at 7:00 p.m. at the Cochrane Movie House.
