Crying Glacier 2023

A sound artist tries to conserve the sounds of a melting glacier in the Swiss Alps before it might disappear forever.

Directed by Lutz Stautner

The louder the glacier, the stronger the melt. The creaking, cracking and rippling is the voice of impermanence. Sound artist Ludwig Berger shows how important it is to listen to the world that surrounds us. The film follows him on one of his numerous visits to Morteratsch glacier in the Swiss Alps, where he collects fascinating sounds that might disappear forever.
