‘As Slow As Possible’ is a documentary that follows Ryan Knighton on a road trip to Germany to hear a single musical note change on an organ that continues to play the longest, slowest song in history. The organ’s signal has found a listener with impending blindness, who in turn has found a personal metaphor in the promise of a note change. There will be a Q&A with Ryan Knighton following the screening.

When: 23 May, 6.30pm
Where: Bangarra Theatre, Pier 4/5 Hickson Road, Walsh Bay, Sydney
