Audio documentary - collective listening

An audio exploration of encounters that reshape life.

Kata Bitowt (LT)

This documentary follows three stories of meeting and connection. An architect nurtures lichen in urban spaces, inviting humans to encounter hidden, wild layers of the city. A facilitator of an electronic improvisation music camp creates a space where strangers come together to make sound beyond their individual capacities. A traveler who rescued a stray puppy now reshapes her life around their companionship, seeking space in nature where they can both roam and thrive.

Through these encounters, Roots & Companions explores the subtle, unpredictable rituals of meeting: how relationships form, how attention and care transform ordinary life, and how strangers — human or nonhuman — can become the closest companions.
