The British & Irish Film Festival Luxembourg (BIFFL)
..Title : Freagairt na Gairme (Answering the Call)
Country : IE
Genre : documentary
Duration : 85 mins
Directed by : Martin Danneels
Starring : n/a
Synopsis : A contemplative documentary that follows the fragile survival of Ireland’s corncrake, one of the country’s most endangered birds. Set against the windswept beauty of the Atlantic coast, the film traces the efforts of ecologists, farmers and volunteers working to restore habitats and revive the bird’s elusive nocturnal call. With atmospheric cinematography and restrained storytelling, Answering the Call is a quiet ode to stewardship, where every gesture - a field left uncut, a fence moved - carries the weight of hope. The film expands its lens to central Africa, revealing the corncrake’s migratory path and the global interdependence of ecosystems. Not just a portrait of a species in peril, but a meditation on patience, devotion and the human capacity to mend what we’ve broken.
In Irish with EN sub-titles.
Please note that Luxembourg-ticket.lu ticket sales are now open up to the screening times; tickets may be available at the cinema prior to screenings, payable by credit card.
