BFF22 A Bird Flew In

Synopsis

The directorial debut from Kirsty Bell, A Bird Flew In examines our need for human intimacy and validation during isolation. When a lockdown is announced, the entire cast and crew of a feature film are sent home - alone. They are actors with no audience, production crew with no set and directors with no script. Couples fall apart, others come together, and some find they are simply alone

Incorporating performances from the likes of Sadie Frost (director of Quant BFF22), Derek Jacobi and Jeff Fahey amongst a larger ensemble cast, this timely narrative experience balances humility, humour, and a little unavoidable existential dread.

Crafted with dynamic editing showcasing vignettes and intimate moments, a greater tapestry of emotion reveals itself offering a deeply inclusive approach to the story being told. As we engage with the personal experience of each performer, underscored by the need for human connection, the film explores our desire for meaning and how art can often provide hope.
