The film is a meditation on the power of sound to bend time, cross borders, and profoundly shape our perception of the world around us.It exists in two unique and equally exciting forms: one for a live audience, complete with individual headphones for each audience member and featuring live narration by Sam Green and live original music by JD Samson; and another specifically designed for a completely immersive at-home or theatrical experience. 32 Sounds will be at Yale in its live form with narration by Sam Green.32 Sounds premiered in January 2022 at the Sundance Film Festival, and was an official selection of the 2022 SXSW Film Festival.

The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, was broadcast on PBS, included in the Whitney Biennial, and has screened widely around the world.Green’s previous short documentary, The Rainbow Man/John 3:16, follows the bizarre rise and fall of a man who became famous during the 1970s by appearing at thousands of televised sporting events wearing a rainbow wig. The film premiered at the 1997 Sundance Film Festival and has screened at festivals worldwide. Green’s other short documentaries include Julius Caesar was Buried in a Pet Cemetery, lot 63, grave c, Pie Fight ’69 (directed with Christian Bruno), N-Judah 5:30, and The Fabulous Stains: Behind the Movie (directed with Sarah Jacobson).
