In Pursuit of Silence
A new film airs in UK cinemas tomorrow entitled In Pursuit of Silence: a documentary-style piece underlining the importance of silence in our daily lives.
We follow Greg Hindy on a year-long vow of silence across America, who speaks to the audience via scribbled notes on a piece of paper. He explores the idea that silence has always been crucial to society, ever since the origins of man, and how these days it is nigh-on impossible to experience. Our hustling, bustling world allows no time for silence or reflection, and its fast-paced, noisy characteristics are an almost insurmountable barrier to this now-rare phenomenon.
What's more, he looks into the importance of silence for our mental health; in a society that is becoming more and more aware of the importance of this faction of medicine, and in which a growing number of people are suffering from mental ailments, the concept of silence is more important than ever.
It looks to be an unique, unexplored, thought-provoking film, and going to the cinema to see it will most likely be a very rewarding and healthy experience, giving you the silence you crave (but never realised you did) and the understanding of the benefits this quiet rarity could have on your personal life.
For an idea of what this film will look like, watch an excerpt here; unsurprisingly, it's very quiet.
