The second edition of Field Recordings examines the intersection between people, culture and landscape. It addresses the history of anthropology with a program of critical films about representation, place and language. Screening on the first day of the weekend of events are Maeve Brennan's films Drift and Listening in the Dark. Brennan will be in conversation with Hannah Paveck (Another Gaze; King’s College London).

About Listening in the Dark:

Human beings are horribly blind to the effect that they have on the natural environment. Yet all around us those repercussions reverberate. Maeve Brennan’s Listening in the Dark performs subtle but penetrating soundings of the extent of this man-made incursion on nature, initially by considering the nocturnal habits of bats, and how they are profoundly affected (sometimes terminally) by the presence of wind turbines located near their regular flight paths.
