Cranes and Voices

“Between unusual auditory perceptions and the housing crisis, sound emerges as both a destructive and creative force.”

Cranes and Voices explores the evocative power of sound through the experiences of people who hear voices and a collective of sound investigators, tenants documenting their neighborhood. By bringing together listening experiences, housing, and creative practices, the film approaches sound as an ambivalent force, questioning our ability to listen—to the city, to others, and to ourselves.
