2024 PROXY Fall Series: Songs of Earth

The 2024 PROXY FALL SERIES presents:

Directed by Margreth Olin, 2023

“Margreth Olin’s “Songs of Earth” works almost like a poem as she records her parents and the Norwegian landscape.” -Alissa Wilkinson, New York Times

With Norway’s dizzyingly beautiful mountain landscapes as its monumental backdrop, filmmaker Margreth Olin embarks on an existential journey with her own aging parents as the human yardstick out in the vast expanses. Here, their family has always lived side by side with nature, even when the earth’s primordial forces have shown their most merciless side. Her parents’ love and lifelong loyalty bear quiet witness to how surroundings and inner space resonate with each other. But not even the most rock-solid mountain is unchanging – and certainly not in times like ours. The level of detail in Olin’s lyrical and visionary poem to her homeland is almost beyond anything seen on the big screen. And that is most definitely where ‘Songs of Earth’ should be experienced.
