Torture By Sound || Gwyneth Christoffel || 4:40 min.

For people with misophonia, everyday sounds can leave them in immense pain. Torture By Sound explores the emotional and psychological impact this condition has on the lives of its victims.

Canadian-born animator and filmmaker, Gwyneth Christoffel, grew up in Nova Scotia and has been making films since 2009. Her short films and animations have screened hundreds of times in countries around the world: Croatia, China, India, Australia and the United States. Her first animation, Recipe for Love, earned her a full-tuition scholarship to attend the University of Advancing Technology in Arizona, where she graduated as valedictorian. She is now animating in her hometown of Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Torture by Sound is part of Atlantic Auteurs Program Two at HIFF 2018.
