Hi,
My name is Michael Gitlin. I'm a filmmaker and birder in New York City.
My film, "The Birdpeople," will be showing on Wednesday, September 7th
at 7:00 p.m., at the Bell Auditorium, as part of the Science on Screen
series, co-presented by the Bell Museum of Natural History and
Minnesota Film Arts.
I'm trying to spread the word about this screening to the birding and
ornithology community in and around Minneapolis/St. Paul. Please feel
free to forward this information to anyone who you think might be
interested in the film, or to post on your website, or forward to a
bird-related list-serve.
Thanks in advance,
Michael Gitlin
About "The Birdpeople," directed by Michael Gitlin
16mm film, 61 minutes, 2004
A loosely-knit community of birdwatchers in New York's Central Park;
ornithologists with their specimen collections at a dozen different
natural history museums; bird banders gingerly extracting birds from mist
nets and collecting data in upstate New York; six people searching for a
nearly extinct bird in a Louisiana bayou: these are the strands that
are woven together by The Birdpeople as it documents a passionate
fixation.
Part cultural history, part self-reflexive anthropology, by turns
humorous and elegiac, The Birdpeople examines the pleasures and problems of
looking and naming, and investigates the social construction of nature,
centered on ornithology and its amateur counterpart, bird watching.
The film, which was completed in 2004, six months before the
re-discovery of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker was announced, takes as its
partial
subject the story of the bird's disappearance and the obsession that has
compelled so many to keep searching for it.
Screening at:
The Bell Auditorium
In the Bell Museum of Natural History
10 Church Street at 17th and University Ave. S.E.
Minneapolis, MN
Wednesday, September 7th at 7:00 p.m.
