Listening (2021) dives into the world of sound through the lens of Hildegard Westerkamp, this Vancouver composer and sound ecologist. It's a unique exploration, really, focusing on how sound shapes our urban experiences. The documentary feels almost meditative at times, with a pacing that allows you to soak in the ambient sounds of city life while digging into the history of the World Soundscape Project. It's distinct in how it presents sound not just as background noise but as an active participant in our environment. The practical effects of her work on noise pollution are profound, and you get a sense of the passion behind her advocacy. An atmospheric piece that resonates long after watching.
