Touch the Sound  
(Thomas Riedelsheimer, 2004, U.S., 99 minutes, DVD)  
How do you make music if you can’t hear? Evelyn Glennie, a deaf master percussionist, invites us into a meditative world where she literally "hears" with her body. Director Thomas Riedelsheimer (Rivers and Tides) creates a visually exquisite and joyous film that inspires us to tune-in to our surroundings in a radically new way. Also starring noted avant-garde musician Fred Frith.

Reeltime is jointly sponsored by the Mary and Leigh Block Museum of Art, Northwestern University, and the Evanston Public Library's Carlyle and Elizabeth Anderson Endowment Fund, in partnership with Reeltime Co-Directors Kathy Berger and Ines Sommer.
