Weeping Rocks

2025 · 88 min

A quiet, contemplative immersion in one man's lifelong ritual, watching loss unfold with gentle, unhurried sorrow.

Directed by: Kārlis Bergs
Genres: Documentary
Starring: Art Shapiro

Tagline: A life spent counting butterflies, as the world quietly disappears.
Overview: Weeping Rocks follows Art, an entomologist nearing the end of his life, who has spent over five decades walking the same ten trails counting butterflies. His eccentric practice has uncovered patterns of environmental decline that went unnoticed for years. As time reshapes the landscape and species fade, Art’s journey becomes a meditation on mortality, change, and the beauty of what remains.
