Description

I have always been fascinated by Synesthesia – a neurologically-based phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to automatic, involuntary experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway. In other words – if you have synesthesia you may be able to hear colours – feel letters – or even see music. I am interested in people who experience the final phenomenon which is the subject of this film.

Distribution
