BIRDWATCHER
A story of longing
DOKU | FILM | CINEMA
Directors: Ulrike Franke, Michael Loeken
At a time when everyday life is becoming increasingly digital, when everything is available everywhere and when the internet seems to answer all of our questions, looking through binoculars is also a way of searching for something original, something unique, something true. The story of “Birdwatchers” tells the story of longing. The birds become the place where hope and confidence, fears and worries, but also dreams and visions, are projected.
