Synopsis
Over the centuries, Western culture has relentlessly attempted to classify noise, music and everyday sounds. Ordinary noises and the mundane sounds that are not perceived as either annoying or musical are of no interest. How to create a meaningful dialogue between looking and listening? A Grammar for Listening attempts to address this question through the possibilities afforded by 16 mm film and digital sound recording devices.
Director biography
Luke Fowler
Luke Fowler (b. 1978, Glasgow) is an artist, filmmaker and musician based in Glasgow. His work explores the limits and conventions of biographical and documentary filmmaking, and has often been compared to the British Free Cinema of the 1950s. Working with archival footage, photography and sound, Fowler’s filmic montages create portraits of intriguing, counter cultural figures, including Scottish psychiatrist R. D. Laing and English composer Cornelius Cardew.
