Ein mehrfach preisgekrönter Naturdokumentarfilm von Thomas Winward der sich denen widmet, die Vögel beobachten.
What does it mean to be a birdwatcher? Why is access to nature important? What makes someone get up at 3 a.m. to go birdwatching in the pouring rain?
My goal for 2024 was to make a short documentary off my own back. I self-funded, directed, shot and edited this little film about birdwatching in London, saying to myself that if it encouraged just one person to take environmental action it would be a success.
The response has blown me away.
It has been screened across the UK as well as in Canada and Colombia, where I introduced it in (clumsy) Spanish.
It has been selected for 12 film festivals and nominated for 8 awards, including Best Documentary at the BIFA-qualifying Sunrise Film Festival.
It has won 4 awards.
