For this episode, we have a conversation with Sam Green, the subject of a monthlong retrospective at the Wex beginning September 28 and featuring the Ohio premiere of his immersive new documentary, 32 Sounds, September 29. As he explains, Sam’s relationship with the Wex goes back to his first film, 1997’s Rainbow Man/John 3:16, and includes an Artist Residency Award for A Thousand Thoughts, his 2018 collaboration with Kronos Quartet.
Sam also discusses his inspirations for 32 Sounds, including the wonderful 1993 movie 32 Short Films About Glenn Gould, his work with soundtrack artist JD Samson, and why he asks audiences to wear headphones for his latest.
