Hymns of a Tiny World – The Birds of New Zealand
Izabella Anguiano-Jacobs
New Zealand is famous for its unique bird life – the result of millions of years of isolation that gave rise to countless species found nowhere else on earth. This picture-book-style animated film is a love letter to the country’s vibrant wildlife and the landscapes they inhabit. Accompanied by a playful musical score, the film offers an insightful, detailed portrait of 50 native bird species, showcasing their diversity in appearance, behaviour and nest-building habits.
