These four films are the result of a five-year project to produce a portrait of the intellectual and storyteller John Berger. They each draw from ideas and motifs from Berger’s own work with the atmosphere of his mountain home:
‘Ways of Listening’ deals with fathers and friendship.
‘Spring’ considers Berger’s writing on our relationship with animals.
‘A Song for Politics’ reflects on politics through archive footage, song, and discussion.
‘Harvest’ revisits Quincy to meditate on belonging and continuity with Berger and his son, Yves.
