"Listening to Others offers diverse engagement with the work of Eduardo Coutinho and its various ethics of open conversation between cinematic subjects. While nearly all of Coutinho's films are examined, many of the essays dialogue with one another and offer analyses of the same films from different critical angles. The result is a rich reading experience that allows for further critical engagement with Coutinho's work and with documentary cinema as a whole." — Andrew C. Rajca, author of Dissensual Subjects: Memory, Human Rights, and Postdictatorship in Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay
