ABOUT “BIRDSONG”
RUNTIME: 54minutes.
COUNTRY: Ireland.
YEAR: 2024
“Birdsong” is a documentary film directed by Kathleen Harris and produced by Ross Whitaker and Aideen O’Sullivan for True Films.
This sensitive and beautifully made film follows Irish ornithologist and field recordist Seán Ronayne during a project to sound-record all of the bird species in Ireland, both resident and migratory. There is a lot more than that to absorb in this beautiful piece of art in motion.
It’s likely impossible to not be moved from the opening scene, where the musical score, cinematography, and artistic direction immediately establish a caring relationship between the birds (portrayed with sound and image) and Seán Ronayne, who appears lit by golden sunlight...
