TRAILER Songs of Earth by Margreth Olin
The strongest nature experience of the year
From Margreth Olin, the director of Doing Good, The Angel, and Childhood, comes the documentary Songs of Earth, a close and spectacular embrace of our first love: Nature.
With Olin's 85-year-old father as guide, we experience Norway's most scenic valley, Oldedalen in Nordfjord. This is where he grew up, and where generations before him have lived in balance with nature. Majestic images of wild mountains, calving glaciers and bustling wildlife go side by side with the parents' stories about the generations who trod the trails, the relationship we have with nature and what is valuable in life. The music is composed of unique sound recordings – nature's own melodies, translated and performed by the London Contemporary Orchestra.
With Songs of Earth, Margreth Olin has made her most magnificent film, and at the same time her most personal, with Liv Ullmann and Wim Wenders on board as executive producers.
