The History of Sound

Directed by Oliver Hermanus2025USA128 mins

Frameline Members are invited to join us for a special advance screening of The History of Sound, presented by MUBI. Directed by Oliver Hermanus (Living) and written by Ben Shattuck, this historical romantic drama centers on Lionel (Paul Mescal) and David (Josh O’Connor), who meet as students at the Boston Conservatory in 1917. A few years later, the two reconnect on a song-collecting trip in Maine.

An RSVP is required to attend, but does NOT guarantee entry. Tickets will be distributed onsite at the AMC Metreon on a first-come, first-served basis. As always, we will try our best to make sure everyone gets in to see the film!
