Culture Through Sound 🌿
I just finished Echoes of Miao, and honestly, it's one of the nicest short docs I've seen in a while. I love how it doesn't try to overload you with information. Instead, it tells the story of a culture through sound and simple images.
The jewelry's soft chime, the woven cloth's subtle rhythms, the way the lusheng cuts through quiet air - it all feels so alive. I think what hit me most was how the everyday sounds of a place can be so meaningful. It made me realize how often we ignore the little things around us.
If I'm nitpicking, I think it would've been even better with a tiny bit of narration or captions just to introduce some of the customs for context. But at the same time, part of the charm is being thrown into it with no explanation. It felt real and unfiltered. Beautifully done.
