Prologue: Senior editor Matt Willey introduces the first Port podcast on the role of silence in films.
Part One: Silence is a vital element within film, but one which we rarely give thought to.
We hear from writer George Michelson Foy on how the noisy experience of modern living led him in search of the acoustic dream – absolute silence.
Part Two: Acclaimed sound designer and editor Paul Davies explains how he conducts tension using near silence, room tone and drones rather than a traditional musical cue in his films, which include Steve McQueen's "Hunger" and Lynne Ramsey's "We Need To Talk About Kevin".
