A Bird Flew In
A black and white cinema verité delight to stir your very soul
A Bird Flew In is a very affecting, beautifully shot and acted black and white film of a film crew sent home during the pandemic – alone.
It was nominated for Best UK Feature at the Raindance Film Festival and it shows. It stars Derek Jacobi, Jeff Fahey, Sadie Frost and a host of other great British talent, who will have you spell bound.
The fact it focuses on the life and loves of a film crew during this period gives the film a very meta feel.
It is funny and oddball in places and sad and tender in others.
It covers failing, failed and burgeoning relationships. As well as, sickness, struggles and love through it all.
These last few years being as they have been, it is not an entirely happy tale, but there are some beautifully touching moments and it is brilliantly crafted together by Kirsty Bell (who also acts in her own role in the film) and her team. It is Goldfinch CEO’s Bell’s directorial debut.
This film comes thoroughly recommended, you will not regret spending the time to watch it and may reflect on your own pandemic experiences differently as a result.
Go and enjoy, now!
A Bird Flew In premiered on the 5th of November.
