L’Ourse et l’Oiseau
The Bear and the Bird
Marie Caudry
Throughout the summer, the bear and the bird are inseparable. But when autumn arrives, the bird heads south. Instead of giving in to hibernation, the bear follows the bird through landscapes both wondrous and uncanny. The adventures and encounters along the way lead her to discover strengths she never knew she had. A poetic and magical animated film that explores longing as a driving force, brought to life through a tender, imaginative visual language that invites viewers to dream.
