Bird Dreams
the final film
in the Ebb and Flow trilogy
by Robert Bornn
"What
if our darkest fears of environmental calamity were to occur?
It's
just a bird dream, right?" -- anonymous post-apocalyptic sage --
Filmmaker Robert
Bornn's evocative movie, Bird Dreams (2008), is the third digital video
film in his
Ebb and Flow lyrical nature series.
The Ebb and Flow trilogy offers
an unconventional view of nature in three narrative-free and nonviolent
movies. Robert’s perspective shows nature in ethereal abstracts and enchanted
naturalism.
Run Time: 9 minutes
For more than four decades Robert
Bornn has created a wide variety of films and images. In 1968 his
first lyrical film, Mandarin Orange Matrix, was screened at the
historic Filmmakers Cinematheque in New York City.
In 2004 he released Ocean’s
Edge-Spirit’s Journey, a narrative-free natural look at the
Mendocino, California Coast and its bird culture. Original music
was provided by his partner, Laura Worth on recorder and Robert on Xylimba
and drums (pictures
and bios).
In 2005 Robert released Here
and Now which sets evocative natural waterscapes and landscapes
to
Discovery Suite, his original,
improvisational piano medley.
Bird Dreams
(2008) is the final film in the Ebb and Flow trilogy.
Robert has been creating original
music and sound effects on a variety of instruments since the 60’s. He
has also created duets with Laura as SoundMoments
Duo. Previously they built the musical ensemble, DIAJ
(Drummers in a Jam), creating a new, African-Inspired, improvisational
music. Robert produced their album, Pangaea:
Old World, New Visions on which their melodic and rhythmic expressions
are featured with lead vocalist,
Ma
Boukaka, the Congolese-American entertainer
and teacher.
