Film This Week: Winged Migration

 

" The air routes taken by migrating birds have existed for thousands of years.

Birds themselves have ruled the skies for 80 million years. It is because life

becomes momentarily difficult where they breed that the birds leave to find

better living conditions elsewhere. This beautiful film is dedicated to birds

and their long-distance flights according to the seasons. The film’s

cinematographers fly alongside the birds through 40 countries and seven

continents. To guide themselves, these creatures of mystery and poetry have

discovered astronomical bearings, observing the sun and stars; they perceive the

magnetic field of the earth; they have an internal clock which gives them the

time and the season; they instinctively know, and learn from their elders, the

terms of their voyages and the skyways to reach them; they know how to cope with

the weather in an uninterrupted dialogue with the wind. This glorious film of

staggering beauty is produced and directed by France’s Jacques Perrin. "
