Maeve Brennan
Listening in the Dark (2018)
Listening in the Dark (2018) performs subtle but penetrating soundings of man-made incursions on nature, initially by considering the habits of bats, and how they are profoundly affected (sometimes terminally) by the presence of wind turbines located near their regular flight paths. Brennan’s film steers an agile, intuitive but increasingly troubled and disconcerted course through these fast-changing environmental conditions. Deftly darting from subject to subject rather than pursuing a linear trajectory, it draws from an array of different voices – ecologists, palaeontologists, chiropterologists (people devoted to the study and care of bats) – to examine the insidious ripple effects of humans’ interactions with nature.
