About A Grammar for Listening (2009, UK, 56 minutes):

Luke Fowler’s film cycle A Grammar for Listening (parts 1-3) is an attempt to create a meaningful dialogue between looking and listening. Working with three different sound artists, Fowler’s film allows us to suspend the usual order of things in motion pictures, which gives the eye primacy and asks the ear to follow along, The various soundscapes in A Grammar for Listening propose a new way of hearing the everyday, and together with Fowler’s delicate 16mm images, create an open space for the ear and the eye to collaborate.

About:
These two very different films (Cold Shutdown: Fukushima One Year After and Beyond Recognition), both look at the current state of the encounter between people and technology and ask how our lives are dictated (even dominated) by complex technologies, technologies that prioritize our lives while masking the games of profit and desire that they involve us while hiding the way that they force us to employ our own humanity in the service of dubious and ultimately sterile goals.
