Little Tsunamis

LITTLE TSUNAMIS is an award winning documentary by Toby Clarkson.

A poetic essay documentary about listening that starts out following 3 sound artists (Chris Watson, Daniel Wilson and Jo Thomas) but takes a surprising turn when the director meets the deaf writer Louise Stern on a bus. Little Tsunamis interweaves a number of individual narrative threads, all held gently together by the story of the directors journey to edit the film. Along the way we pass through a range of curious locations, culminating in an expanded horizon of listening beyond hearing.

LITTLE TSUNAMIS reviewed in The Wire:

"This is a film that plays with expectations and reinvents itself as it goes... It's a winning multiplicity.... by the end of the film we can feel the little tsunami's of the films title - rumblings of sound or non-verbal communication - rippling through us. Shaking us."
