We've got a special event at the Bell House right after Labor Day!
It's a free sneak peek of The
Sound of Silence before it comes out in theaters. The film received
accolades at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and has a cool
science-y theme.
This event is free, but please RSVP!
Secret Science Club & IFC Films present a sneak preview of THE
SOUND OF SILENCE, Tuesday, September 3, 8pm @ the Bell House, FREE with RSVP!
THE SOUND OF SILENCE follows a
self-taught scientist, Peter (Peter Sarsgaard), working in New York City as a
"house tuner"—a unique, highly specialized profession he's invented.
His clients approach him with troubles like depression, anxiety, or fatigue.
After extensive analysis of their homes' acoustic characteristics, he
identifies some sonic combination that's altering their mood—a radiator mixed
with a kitchen appliance, for instance—and is able to calibrate it. But
following a routine house call where he meets Ellen (Rashida Jones), who is
experiencing exhaustion, Peter obsessively searches for the fault in his
practice after his initial conclusion proves incorrect.
THE SOUND OF SILENCE is a serene contemplation of people living in
their modern environment—and their desire to understand and even control
it.
Join us for a sneak
preview followed by a post-screening
Q&A with co-writer Ben Nabors and neuroscientist Bianca
Jones Marlin, moderated by SSC host Dorian Devins.
