Listening Centre

Never leaving the ex-convent in which the Listening Centre is based, the camera follows listening sessions, internal meetings, and the training in listening of new volunteers. The film focuses on the power of listening as a social, spiritual and artistic act – an antidote to the current pandemic of loneliness. The Centre’s visitors, who want to feel seen, welcome the camera as a way to reinforce the acceptance they seek. The listening sessions reveal a shocking and yet relatable social picture, made of voices that are not easily accessed, and that would otherwise remain unheard.
