Phonic Film

Synopsis

Phonic Film explores how sound shapes our sense of place and identity. The work highlights how people often rely on visual memory while unconsciously overlooking other senses like smell and hearing. By prompting viewers to recall the colors, scents, and sounds tied to familiar spaces such as a grandparent’s home—the project reveals how the boundaries of a place extend beyond its physical structure. Through this sensory reflection, Phonic Film invites audiences to consider the sounds that define their childhood, their city, and their personal history, emphasizing how auditory memories complete the sensory image of a place and contribute to identity formation.
