Oisín
This lyrical film opens with a quote from Irish mythology where Oisín describes Irish birdsong as ‘the sweetest in the world’ and urges us to ‘Stop and listen!’ What follows is a stunning, non-narrated depiction of Irish birds, animals and landscapes. Oisín was commissioned by the Department of Land of Ireland as a contribution to the European Conservation Year.

Aside from a slide at the top of this short documentary, there is no visible contribution from mankind as we watch the wildlife of Ireland thrive. That slide invites us to consider the delights of nature rather than those man made (or reilgious!) and for quarter of an hour or so we see things gambolling, flying, swimming, foraging and nesting whilst all is accompanied by a buzzing and flapping natural soundtrack. The photography just lets the creatures get on with their lives, undisturbed and free to roam. Turn the sound down and it's a remarkably soothing film to watch, ideal to put on the television to fall asleep to whilst reminding us to consider our own place in the grand scheme of things.
