Murmuration (1993) [Short]

Canada (MIFF1994,Documentary)
Director: Elisabeth Murray

"A cast of Hawks...A watch of Nightingales...A Murmuration of Starlings." This short black-and-white film is a lyrical study of the common starling, sturnis vulgari. But this is no traditional wildlife documentary, this is an innovative visual treat. Using animated, live-action and optically printed images, the filmmaker muses on the destiny of this deplored conqueror of continents.
