Evelyn Glennnie lives in our universe in a way that almost no one else does. She’s a top classical solo percussionist. She is also profoundly deaf using her body as a "resounding chamber" through which she experiences her work. In this documentary, we get to follow Glennie as she plays the snare drum in New York's Grand Central Station, a guitar case in the Cologne airport, pigeon coops on row house roof tops, and the china at her favorite Japanese restaurant. But the movie really breaks out when we get to follow her and avant-garde musical legend Fred Frith improvise work for a new album while roaming through a vast, decaying, industrial warehouse. "Exquisitely beautiful for the eyes as for the ears." - David Sterritt, Christian Science Monitor. Also, a short entitled Moon Bay Concerto (8 min.) will begin the evening. It's a musical photographic exhibit in three movements featuring music by local composer George Roumanis and photographer Lou Solitske. Both gentlemen live in Half Moon Bay and will be at the screening to answer questions.
