188: Margreth Olin on "Songs of Earth"

Pure Nonfiction: Inside Documentary Film

"Songs of Earth" is both a love story and a cinematic exploration of nature. Filmmaker Margreth Olin profiles her parents while immersing us in Norway's landscape of glaciers, fjords and waterfalls. After winning acclaim at festivals from CPH:DOX to TIFF, the film is now playing in U.S. theaters from Strand Releasing. It begs to be experienced on a big screen. Pure Nonfiction host Thom Powers interviews Margreth about her attention to the image capturing, sound design, and the profound experience of screening the film in her family’s village.
