THE HUM
Directed by Jabari Canada (USA 2025, 13:12 mins).
The Hum follows two characters who encounter the same low, persistent vibration yet respond to it in markedly different ways. As the sound infiltrates their daily lives, the film begins to organize itself like a building: stories are nested within stories, scenes fold back on themselves, and moments of reflexivity reveal how perception and meaning are constructed. This layered structure echoes the architecture of acoustically isolated spaces, where walls, gaps, and materials simultaneously separate and connect, shaping what is heard, felt, and understood. -
