Free-For-All Day at the Academy Museum

Ruben Stone is a metal drummer whose diagnosis of progressive hearing loss forces him to reevaluate his art and life in this powerful drama directed and cowritten by Darius Marder. Riz Ahmed was nominated for his moving lead performance, and the film’s six nominations include Best Picture and Paul Raci’s supporting performance. Sound of Metal won Oscars for Film Editing (Mikkel E. G. Nielsen) and Sound (Nicolas Becker, Jaime Baksht, Michellee Couttolenc, Carlos Cortés Navarrete, Phillip Bladh).

Join us for a special edition of our Tactile Filmmaking Workshop in honor of Valentine’s Day.

We’ll prepare to listen deeply to Sound of Metal by learning just how inventive sound recording and remixing can be.
