Film and text by Lutz Stautner:
When I first heard Ludwig Berger’s recordings of a melting glacier, I could hardly believe they were real. They reflected what I’d long associated with glaciers: complexity, excitement, life.
By approaching the glacier through sound, by making it seem alive, Berger gave me a whole new perspective, not just on climate change caused by humans, but on coexistence. The short documentary above, “Crying Glacier,” explores what we can learn by listening.
