Built around an evocative soundscape created by Mubalegh, composer-researcher Tore Witsø Rafoss, and bioacoustician Joachim Poutaraud, the film gently probes the boundary between the human and the non-human—inviting us to get closer to the world as birds might experience it.
Maël Mubalegh (b. 1997, Blois, France) is a filmmaker and film student in the joint ECAL/HEAD Master’s program between Lausanne and Geneva. He studied literature, philosophy, and cinema at the Sorbonne, then earned a Master’s in Arts and Languages at EHESS Paris. As a 2018–2019 DAAD scholar, he studied art history and philosophy at Humboldt University in Berlin, where he began developing a cinematic approach blending documentary, experimental film, and fiction—working notably with filmmaker Katrin Eissing.
