Film Review & Commentary
Margreth Olin’s film, “Songs of Earth,” is far more than a nature documentary, or family biography about her aging parents. It’s a meditation walk, shot with breathtaking cinematography and set against the backdrop of life-altering environmental changes. This was Mountain Shadow’s selection for May 2024. To read a brief review, click on the image above.
Set against the backdrop of the filmmaker’s quixotic quest to build an ark in a field in Maine, the film heads far afield – to pursue an answer to the question: What in this world, if anything, is worth saving or will endure?
