Interesting question! I think that if you are unknowingly synaesthetic then it might be an opportunity to realise it. Synaesthetes' brains are wired differently though, with neural pathways between sense centres in their brain where the rest of us don't have them, which is why true synaesthesia cannot be acquired.
Interesting video clip! I am not synaesthetic, but wonder if watching more of this kind of material for some period of time might "awaken" any latent synaesthesia in non-synaesthetes, perhaps by boosting normally suppressed awareness. Of course different synaesthetes have different mappings between their senses such that example renderings cannot be entirely universal.
That's good to hear, thank you! I worked on the film with three people with synaesthesia and one neuro-psychologist who specialises in synaesthesia. I'm really glad to hear positive feedback from a synaesthestic person!
I have synesthesia as well, and watching this was weirdly accurate. Not so much in that I experience the same things, but in the relationship between hearing and seeing being represented extremely well.
I do This, music can be both wonderful and painfull at times!
and dont even get me started on what I see when i go to the mall!
I also get migranes from smells because I smell in colour!
