The opening minutes of Matt Ogens’ short documentary “Audible” are among the most thrilling and jarring and gorgeously shot of any movie that came out last year, feature-length or not.
The film, which is among the Academy Award-nominated shorts playing at the Library Cinema series in Aspen March 18-20, profiles football players, coaches and cheerleaders at the Maryland School for the Deaf. Its shot with lush and rich visuals of on-field action and schoolyard, an artful doc that somehow works in the visual language of “Friday Night Lights,” and it’s propelled by a throbbing score of drums and drones that magnifies the intensity of this real-life teen drama.
