The Birdpeople
NEW DOCS
Like cineastes, birders live for the eternal, gauzy image imprinted on the mind’s eye in a flickering twinkle. But what of watching the watchers? Using the legendary—and likely extinct—Ivory-billed Woodpecker as an overstuffed touchstone, filmmaker Michael Gitlin makes voyeurism either sublime or absurd. Watch and decide. RR
