The Tuba Thieves

Join us for our last Indie Lens Pop-up of this series! This is a FREE screening

What is the role of sound and what does it mean to listen? Hard of hearing filmmaker Alison O’Daniel uses a series of tuba thefts in Los Angeles high schools as a jumping-off point to explore these questions. Through several d/Deaf people telling stories in a unique game of telephone, the central mystery of The Tuba Thieves isn’t about theft of instruments; it’s about the nature of sound itself.

Hosted by Sydney Alison with Special Guest Susan Nelson, Director of Deaf & Hard of Hearing Services, The Center for Individuals with Physical Challenges. Director Alison O’Daniel will join us via zoom after the film.
