Swifts

synopsis

Swifts spend their entire lives in the air. They sleepwhile flying and are among the fastest birds in the world. The camera captures what their great speed makes impossible to see with the naked eye – the space-time of the swift’s flight in the form of stages of flight, trajectories and curves. Every summer, the birds perform their aerial acrobatics in the sky over the housing estate they call home, as they prepare for the long fl ight south.

The swift as an example of joy, in the air as an example of
home.
