The Rubin hosts the American premier of The Sound of Insects, followed by a discussion and Q&A with renowned poet, Paul Muldoon. Profound, disturbing, and revelatory, Peter Liechti's film is a stunning adaptation of a fictional text, which itself is based upon a true event. It tells the story of how the mummified corpse of a 40-year-old man was discovered by a hunter in one of the most remote parts of the country. The dead man's detailed notes reveal that he committed suicide through self-imposed starvation the summer before.
