SYNOPSIS
Taking inspiration from the everyday dance of switchboard operators and the poetry of the Yellow Pages, SOMETHING IN YOUR VOICE is an intricate web of missed connections, broken signals, international time delays, cold calls, bureaucratic labyrinths, late-night gossip, bleary arguments, and oddly profound interactions with insurance scam bots.
An anxious web of interactions - fragments of life under late capitalism - using the form of a telephone conversation to explore distance and intimacy, public and private spheres, power and information, individual and collective responsibilities.
