About
Every evening at dusk starlingswherever they might be nestingwill flock together to perform one of the most mysterious gestures in the natural world Flitting to and fro thousands fly in gyroscopic unison Scientists still dont know how the birds avoid colliding with one another in these elaborately choreographed murmurations This short film makes no attempt to explain the winged ritual No voiceover interrupts the flow No score intrudes upon the birds own song The majestic ornithological swirl speaks for itself As the black ribbon of flight careens back and forth across the evening sky one truth emerges This flying isnt an act of necessity Its an act of sublime artistic expression
