SYNOPSIS

Jean lives as a hermit in a forest. From his cabin, he listens to and records the sounds of the animals that inhabit the surrounding area. One night, he hears the cry of an unknown animal. Along with Mana, a young girl who sings with the birds, he goes in search of the mysterious creature.

Critical text

Jean and Mana cross paths at a cabin in the mountains. While Jean records and catalogues every animal sound in the forest, Mana studies and reproduces birdsong through musical instruments. One day, Jean records a sound that neither of them recognises. 07:15 - Blackbird thus transforms into a mystery story where science and poetry converge, reflecting a broad spectrum of human knowledge. The young filmmaker Judith Auffray delves into the enigmas of the forest, capturing the restlessness of a mind intent on exploring that which remains unseen.NURIA CUBAS
