    • The Sound of Colors

    'The Sound of Colors' is a short produced by a crew of young filmmakers. It tells the real story of the first cyborg in human history, Neil Harbisson.

    Neil suffers from acromatopsia: a congenital disease that affects the patient to see in black and white. Consequently, he feels left out of a society full of prejudice and which turns its back on him because of his weirdness and uniqueness.

    When Montandon meets Neil, the scientist turns the protagonist's life into something much easier and comfortable: he creates the eyeborg, a camera that Neil will carry on his head, which will enable him to perceive the colors through sounds. However, this will generate some new problems...

    CAST

    Marius Praniauskas as the orchestra man Neil Harbisson, will guide us through the whole story.

    Andrea Trepat as Moon, Neil's childhood friend, who always remains near him never mind the distance. They are two souls connected by the same purpose in life: the conquest of their dream despite being rejected by the whole of society.

    Elton Prince as Carl Atkins, a piano teacher who will show Neil a new way on his voyage to reach his dream.

    Joan Amargós as Adam Montandon, a science student who will help Neil by creating the unusual gadget which will translate colors into sounds.

    Birgit Bofarull as Neil's mother , woman who, on the other hand, will always give his son all the freedom to find his own way through life.

    These are the main characters in this story full of emotions and tension. Although, at moments there is humor, the story is surrounded by the main character's strong and powerful feelings which will lead us from an inner dimension to a slowly externalization of his own conflict.

    We are about to live the creation of history's first cyborg, through the darkest moments of his life, till the final and magic days of his proclamation, when his dreams comes true.

    What an enormous loss... I met him with Roger Hines, bass player, who was then touring with Ray Charles and would stop at times in NYC. We were walking across park in the Village and got to the basketball court on 4th and 6th ave where all the brothers play. I heard this loud scream call out: Rogeeeeer, how you doin man??? And here was this guy in a state. I won't describe it because he seemed ill. He was overly friendly and evidently not centered. I was 23 years old. Jaco was happy to meet someone from Finnish heritage like himself. I wore a summery miniskirt. He was trying to hit on me. Wasn't cool, but Roger and I kept it civil. His hands were a mess. He smelled. I felt uncomfortable. His energy was all over the place. He had been playing ball with the brothers. He asked for money. There was small talk about: where and how and what. I heard the words out there, benches...Then Jaco said he was hungry. Roger, Jaco and myself went to a deli and bought him some food and drink and then Roger gave him some money.Jaco was overjoyed: Thanks so much man! Great to see you! Let's hook up! Sweet babe you've got! We walked to Tower Recordson Broadway, up to the jazz section. He showed me an album cover: JACO PASTORIUS. I could not believe he was the man I had just seen. So sad. A year later I was no longer hanging out with Roger, but had a boyfriend, Calvin Andreassi who so happened, went to school with Jaco and Pat Metheny down at University of Miami. One sad gloomy autumn evening, we opened Time magazine and saw the blurb, obituary in reduced form, informing of Jaco's passing by the hands of an enraged insane bouncer down in Florida. Cal and I wept inconsolably. To this day, I have never been able to erase the image of his bloated hands from my mind. The hands that slithered across his bass with everlasting genius. Such is genius: a coin with two expensive faces. Bill Evans and Charlie were of the same coinage, but I never got to meet them. I hel

    Paul Marsh dreams of encountering a mermaid with razor-sharp teeth while exploring an underwater cave. He awakens on a boat off the shores of Spain, where he is vacationing with his girlfriend Barbara and their friends Vicki and Howard. A sudden storm blows their boat against the rocks, pinning Vicki against the bed and flooding the boat. While Howard stays with her, Paul and Barbara take the lifeboat to the nearby fishing town of Imboca. During their absence, an unseen water creature attacks Howard and Vicki.

    Barbara and Paul venture through the seemingly deserted town and reach the church. There, they convince a priest to help them. Two fishermen at the docks volunteer to take one of them back to the boat. While Paul goes with the fishermen, Barbara stays to find a phone and call for help.

    After failing to find either Howard or Vicki, Paul goes to the hotel where Barbara supposedly stays, but she isn't there. He waits for
