Sarah Kraning, an artist and advocate, sees a personal light show every time she listens to a song. Like 2-5% of the population, she has synesthesia, a neurological trait where information meant to stimulate one sense sets off several. Sound & Color centers the process of creating a scene that blends footage of Sarah with striking synesthetic animations, depicting the phenomena she sees in real-time. An original soundscape that fuses musical and everyday sounds anchors this composition, launching each animated moment. While the film revolves around the creation of this animated scene and culminates in its completion, it is grounded in Sarah’s experience living with synesthesia, with all its challenges and joys. Featuring the animation process in Sound & Color encourages audiences to imagine the difficulty of describing their own minds, generalizing the film beyond Sarah’s story into an exploration of subjective perception and the universal human urge to feel understood.
