Film Screening: The Ornithologist (O Ornitólogo)

May 4, 6:30 PM, AYRES 106

A surreal river film that also serves as a mediation on the role of faith and disbelief, The Ornithologist is a stunning entry in global queer cinema and environmental critique. Fernando, the title ornithologist, follows black storks on a birdwatching and canoeing trip but undergoes an accident and then a series of increasingly bizarre encounters that parallel the life of Saint Anthony of Padua.
