Join us for a screening of The Tuba Thieves (2023) by Alison O'Daniel and a Q&A with the filmmaker.
Music isn’t necessarily about listening, and hearing is not always an auditory experience. The Tuba Thieves is a holistic exploration of musicality and the expansion of sound.
What is the role of sound and what does it mean to listen? 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.
This event is wheelchair accessible via our main entrance and an accessible seating area is available inside Jacobs Hall. For any specific accommodation please e-mail [email protected]. There will be ASL Interpretation for the duration of this event. Free museum admission is included in your RSVP.
