Dreams and Spaces in Between

Short film written and directed by John Graham.

2015. 8 minutes, 41 seconds.

 

A young musician has just become deaf. Initially, he painfully resists the absence of sound in his new life. Mysteriously his subconscious mind soon adapts and imaginatively triggers new perceptual abilities for him. Initially, he becomes a synesthete and sees sounds as moving shapes. He then begins to give life to sounds by experiencing them visually as increasingly complex poetic metaphors.
