Combined tickets for Icarus (after Amelia), Bird and the live-streamed Q&A with Margaret Salmon cost £7.

Bird
A visual and aural riff on the pioneering films of the Children’s Film Fund producer/director Mary Field and her early work for the Secrets of Nature series, Bird is aimed at general audiences with a particular focus on children.With a score by the influential electronic music composer Matthew Herbert, Bird is as much about observation and environment as education and spectatorship, inviting audiences to consider the ways in which cinematic tools – camera, lens, colour, movement, voice, sound – heighten and humanise our interpretation of the natural world.Filmed on 35mm transferred to HD video.
