Crying

Glacier

AN EL FLAMINGO FILM

A SOUND ARTIST TRIES TO CONSERVE THE SOUNDS OF A MELTING GLACIER IN THE SWISS ALPS BEFORE IT MIGHT DISAPPEAR FOREVER.

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.

"All the little air bubbles that are released are maybe hundreds or thousand years old, and they make just a little plop sound, and then they're gone forever."
