The UNEP/AEWA Secretariat, as one of the organizers of World Migratory Bird Day, will screen the movie "Winged Migration". Invited are staff members of the United Nations that are based in the offices in Bonn.
“Winged Migration” is a 2001 documentary film directed by Jacques Cluzaud, Michel Debats and Jacques Perrin.
The movie was shot over the course of four years on all seven continents. Shot using in-flight cameras, most of the footage is aerial, and the viewer appears to be flying alongside migratory birds of successive species, especially Canada geese. They traverse every kind of weather and landscape, covering vast distances in a flight for survival. The filmmakers exposed over 590 miles of film to create an 89-minute piece. In one case, two months of filming in one location was edited down to less than one minute in the final film.
