SONGS
OF EARTH
Songs of Earth is a
majestic symphony for the big screen. The film is an audio-visual composition
of the earth’s primordial forces with the camera taking you from inside
nature’s smallest components to outside the wild panoramas. The filmmaker’s
father (85) is our guide. Bringing us through Norway’s most scenic valley, where
he grew up, and where generations have been living alongside nature to survive.
The sounds of the earth harmonize together to make music in this breathtaking
journey. (Norway, 2023, 90 mins,
Norwegian with English Subtitles | Dir. Margreth Olin)
“A remarkable, poetic meditation, Songs of Earth weaves the
smallness of human lifespan into the grandness of the earth’s history, and does
it all with unspeakable beauty.”
– Alissa Wilkinson, Vox
