Songs of Earth

A magnificent symphony for the big screen, an audiovisual composition of the earth’s primal forces, is captured on camera and takes us on a journey from the innermost details of nature to the outer, wild panoramic landscapes. Deep in the heart of the Norwegian countryside, where the picturesque Oldedalen valley meets Europe’s largest remaining glacier, the cycles of time, life, and nature are inextricably intertwined. Over the course of an entire year, the director follows her 85-year-old father as he traverses—perhaps for the last time—his ancestral land and the trails carved out by generations upon generations of his ancestors. A journey of family memory and, at the same time, an ode to the majestic beauty of nature, which must be protected at all costs.

Screenings of the documentary in Greece are taking place with the support of the Norwegian Embassy in Athens. With the support of the Region of Thessaly and the “Thessaly” ESPA Program 2021–2027.
