In Pursuit of Silence opens in New York City on June 23rd, and in Los Angeles on June 30th. So, what's the film about? The producers explain:
In Pursuit of Silence is a meditative exploration of our relationship with silence, sound and the impact of noise on our lives. Beginning with an ode to John Cage’s ground-breaking composition 4’33”, In Pursuit of Silence takes us on an immersive cinematic journey around the globe– from a traditional tea ceremony in Kyoto, to the streets of the loudest city on the planet, Mumbai during the wild festival season – and inspires us to experience silence and celebrate the wonders of our world.
The film made the rounds of the film festival circuit last year--the upcoming New York City opening is its theatrical premier.
