Mr. Edison’s Ear [32:00 | 2008 | sound | bw | English]
"An inventive exploration of the visceral nature of sound and how we learned to capture and reproduce it over time. Anchored by the discovery of the phonograph by the brilliant-and deaf-inventor Thomas Edison, this visual and conceptual collage of rich archival footage and animation playfully traces the birth of technological reproduction and the beginnings of our modern, audio-drenched world." - Gisèle Gordon (Hot Docs Catalogue 2008)
