A celluloid salute to our mysterious and majestic winged friends in the sky, Birdwatching is a chance to study wildlife from the comfort of your theater seat. From the menacing swarms in Alfred Hitchcock’s The Birds, to the serene beauty of Peter Greenaway’s soaring subjects in A Walk Through H, birds clearly occupy a special place in film history. Leave the binoculars at home and flock to IHP for four feather-filled days of ornithological films.

European Cinema Uncovered

Programs of recently-restored classics from European countries lesser-known worldwide for their cinematic history help us understand what cinema means to a people, a country, and a heritage. The Embassy of Lithuania, the Albanian Cinema Project, the Academic Film Center Belgrade and Alternative Film/Video Festival Belgrade each present projects that allow us to discover and uncover a cinematic legacy we might not have otherwise been privy to. As more and more state governments realize and evaluate the importance of the preservation of, and access to moving images, we will begin to rediscover many histories that otherwise might have been lost.
