IFC Films has released a trailer to Michael Tyburski‘s feature debut THE SOUND OF SILENCE – based on the award-winning Sundance short ‘Palimpsest’.
The cast includes Peter Sarsgaard, Rashida Jones, Tony Revolori, Austin Pendleton, Bruce Altman, Tracee Chimo, Alex Karpovsky, Tina Benko, & Kate Lyn Sheil.
THE SOUND OF SILENCE follows a self-taught scientist, Peter (Sarsgaard), working in New York City as a “house tuner”—a unique, highly specialized profession he’s invented. His clients approach him with troubles like depression, anxiety, or fatigue. After extensive analysis of their homes’ acoustic characteristics, he identifies some sonic combination that’s altering their mood —a radiator mixed with a kitchen appliance, for instance— and is able to calibrate it. But following a routine house call where he meets Ellen (Jones), who is experiencing exhaustion, Peter obsessively searches for the fault in his practice after his initial conclusion proves incorrect.
THE SOUND OF SILENCE is a serene contemplation of people living in their modern environment—and their desire to understand and even control it.
THE SOUND OF SILENCE will open on Friday, September 13th exclusively at the IFC Center in New York, and the Laemmle Royal in Los Angeles with rollout to select cities. The film will be available on demand and digital platforms.
