Songs of Earth
A magnificent, existential journey with the filmmaker’s parents as its human yardstick, and with the primordial forces of the earth looming in the bedrock.
Directed by Margreth Olin
Produced by Speranza Film
A meditative documentary exploring generational continuity and humanity's relationship with nature through an intimate journey with an elderly father in a Norwegian valley.
With Olin's 85-year-old father as guide, we experience Norway's most adventurous valley, Oldedalen in Nordfjord. He grew up here, and here generations before him have lived in balance with nature.
