A Symphony of Noise

About This Movie

A Symphony of Noise is quite the unique documentary; it blends sound and social commentary with an unusual twist. The film dives into the world of British fishermen, capturing their perspectives on Brexit through the lens of sound art, specifically through the work of composer Matthew Herbert. The way it treats ordinary objects - like a trumpet being compared to fish and chips - is both absurd and thought-provoking. The pacing feels organic, allowing the viewer to soak in the rich textures of sound and the ambient atmosphere of the fishing community. It's not just a documentary; it's a sonic exploration that challenges how we perceive noise and its impact on our lives. Herbert's approach to audio activism gives it a distinct edge; it’s all about the subtleties.
