Film
Fuglen der kunne spå
Katia Forbert Petersen, Annette Mari Olsen, 2007
"The Bird that Could Tell Fortunes" is a universal story about a boy, who together with his bird, sells fortune-telling cards to passers-by. The film is a true present-day picture of Persian culture and tradition, and with its expressive images it carries us into the mysticism of the Orient. As one of the directors grew up in Iran and is deeply rooted in the country, she sees the nuances and entirety that people living there do not notice: A bird that has flown away sees an entirety from above.
