...sound into the foreground. After settling into each film, one’s ears become attuned to the subtlest of sounds. Becky Allen, a longtime collaborator of Lockhart’s, was responsible for recording the sound for the films. In some of the films, one can hear the crisp crackle of autumn leaves; in others, voices are reduced to murmurs. Most of what the children say is unintelligible, but at times one can interpret the general tenor of their exclamations.
