Come out for the second annual Third Coast Filmless Festival, a celebration of storytelling, sound and listening “in the dark” to unforgettable audio documentaries.
Enjoy screenings followed by producer Q&As, a special presentation of documentary-in-progress with Joe Richman, a lobby humming with audio installation. In the evening, celebrate the book launch of the newly-published Reality Radio: Telling True Stories in Sound, with Ira Glass and the Kitchen Sisters.
