9 Meter

9 meter, that is a) a little more than the long jump world record and b) the distance between two highrises in the short film «9 Meter». This is all I’m going to say about the story, since I want you to watch it yourselves. It’s the best short film I’ve seen in a long time.

In this fascinating radio feature, sound designers for televised sporting events tell how they work and how they fake sounds so we hear what we expect to hear.
