On the next episode of the SOUNDS OF FILM Podcast, Tom Needham speaks with acclaimed filmmaker Chad Freidrichs about his groundbreaking new documentary, The Cinema Within. The film explores a fascinating question: Why does film editing work so seamlessly on our brains?

Featuring insights from legendary editor Walter Murch, film historian David Bordwell, and leading scientists, The Cinema Within travels from Hollywood to a Turkish village to uncover the subconscious language of editing—and how something as simple as blinking may unlock its secrets.

Known for The Pruitt-Igoe Myth, The Experimental City, and Jandek on Corwood, Freidrichs brings a distinctive vision to this four-year project. Inventive and visually striking, The Cinema Within reveals the hidden grammar of film and the way it shapes how we see the world.

Tune in for a mind-expanding conversation on cinema, perception, and the art of editing.
