The Birdwatcher

The Birdwatcher

Synopsis

Investigators visit the site of a strange disappearance – a solitary birdwatching hut deep in the forest. Situated in Cornwall and drawing upon the county’s natural environment, seafaring tradition, Celtic history, and Cornish language – this film takes its themes from a time when the world seemed much larger, mysterious, and frightening, drawing parallels with the fears and xenophobia of the contemporary moment.
