Enjoy the film!
Come on a magical journey through Australia’s native forests to understand the sophistication and complex artistry of the lyrebird, leading humanity to a deeper understanding of the natural world.
Hatched as an eco-mystery meditation on the elusive lyrebird, this Australian feathery-tale takes us from Sherbrooke forest, Victoria to the New England Plateau in New South Wales via, East Gippsland, Canberra, the Blue Mountains and The Yandel’ora (also known as the Scenic Hills of Campbelltown) to meet a study group, a scientist, a lyrebird sound recordist, a lyrebird keeper, an activist and a Knowledge-Holder who, from their contrasting perspectives, illustrate the profound importance to connect with wildlife, our old-growth forests, the Earth, and The Dreaming.
This is a film about the relationship between people and birds, set in a natural wonderland where an exquisite forest faery has been performing his astonishing song and dance routines for millions of years. It is a timeless journey of self-reflection and connection, and a call to re-member to live without destroying the things we love.
