I Felt Like the Sound of a Harp

About This Movie

I Felt Like the Sound of a Harp is one of those rare documentaries that feels more like a dreamscape than a straightforward narrative. It dances between personal stories and historical context, all while pulling in the fascinating research of Humphry Davy on laughing gas. The pacing is deliberate, almost meditative, allowing you to really sink into the dissociative experiences being explored. Its audio-visual composition is layered and intricate, weaving sensory images that evoke a haunting beauty. There's an atmosphere that’s both ethereal and grounded, with practical effects that help illustrate these disorienting states of consciousness. It’s a distinctive piece that leaves you reflecting on the nature of reality and perception long after it ends.
