Synopsis
Hana lives alone and maintains the family tradition of roadside innkeeping, which no one needs anymore because the traffic was diverted to the highway. One day she gets a guest, a woman with a profession she didn't know existed. The listener of bridges came to listen to the highway bridge, but she will hear everything else, even the darkest secrets.

In 2018, when the bridge in Genoa collapsed, I was following the news closely, and they featured a man who spoke about how he had been monitoring the bridge for years, sending warnings that were ultimately ignored. The TV station referred to him as a "Bridge Listener." This struck me and made me think about how water dripping, if persistent enough, can eventually erode concrete—hidden, gradual, and unstoppable. It led me to reflect on change, which brought me to the idea of frozen people. On social media, if you pay attention, you’ll notice that the same people post the same comments on the same topics over and over again. Isn’t that a form of being stuck? Slowly, a story began to form in my mind—of mourning, suspended somewhere in the middle, frozen on the internet. And of a person who comes, listens, hears this grief and stagnation, and tries to move it with exactly what he knows best: sound. For nearly a century, we’ve had sound in film, but in The Bridge Listener, sound is not just an addition—it is the very heart of the story.

Poetična prispodoba o (ne)poslušanju samega sebe in (so)ljudi ima velik potencial, čeprav je scenarij v nekaterih detajlih šibek, struktura pa ne daje vselej prave podpore pomembni čustveni plati oseb. Simbolizem je močan, vendar ga dialogi, ki bi jih med pripravami na produkcijo veljalo bolje domisliti in osmisliti, ne krepijo, saj ostajajo informativni in razlagalni. Atmosfersko je zanimiva prostorska umestitev dogajanja z delitvijo prostorov; na eni strani Hanino stanovanje in na drugi zunanjščina pod viaduktom. Izvirna je subtilna uporaba zvokov, ki nadomeščajo glasbeno podlago za film, pa tudi pripovedna nit, ki se pridružuje zamolčanemu. Film je ob ustrezni realizaciji zanimiv za mednarodne festivale avtorskega filma, kakor tudi za distribucijo v slovenski Art kino mreži.
