- DirectorOlli BarbéStarsJacques PerrinThis documentary introduces the viewer of "Winged Migration" to the people behind what its makers call "the tale," a combination of fiction and truth. The movie was storyboarded and the actors (birds) hand raised from eggs to imprint on the filmmakers and their machines (boats, a French naval ship, paragliders, balloons, ultralights, motorcycles, trucks, etc.). At first, after imprinting on the people, the birds were trained to follow, run, and then fly beside the ultralights and other vehicles as they motored along the ground. Then they flew with the ultralights and gliders. Finally, they were transported to various places along migratory paths by plane--cranes, swans, ducks, geese, pelicans, and so on--to fly or waddle or wade on scene and on cue ("Allez, allez!"). The filmmakers also flew without their birds to spots where the birds they did not or could not tame arrived or nested or left at certain times of the year. Filming was held up for hours, days, or months when the birds were sick, the weather did not cooperate, the birds flew away and eluded their handlers, or the ultralights crashed (9 times during the filming of "Winged Migration"). Fortunately, no humans were seriously harmed during the making of either film (although some clearly suffered bird bites).

- DirectorMatej VranicStarsJure LongykaPhilip James BurtBIRDS OF THE LAKES RETURN is an excellent display of how humans can rehabilitate and restore an area where a heavy industry polluted the water so severely that it was unsuitable to sustain any kind of life. A a film showing how birds returned to an environment once devastated by industry. The lakes around the northern Slovenian town of Velenje, placed in the Central Europe, are geographic center of the film. They emerged as the land above the lignite mines subsided and the depressions were filled with water. The mines started operating at the end of the 19th century. In the mid 20th century a power plant was built that caused a severe pollution of the lake waters to the extent of the lakes not being fit for any kind of life. As a consequence many birds moved from these parts. After a long ecological restoration that started in the mid 1980s, life returned to the water. Gradually the birds returned as well, including some there were previously never observed in this area. This documentary called BIRDS OF THE LAKES RETURN could just as well be called The Secret Life of Birds. The author unveils astonishing details from the lives of birds. Some of them live in the vicinity of the people but are hardly ever spotted. We follow birds through one-year period - their struggle for survival in winter conditions; The arrival of migrants birds in the spring who spent winter down south; nesting and mating period; the autumnal migrations and the preparation for the winter for those who stay,... Some other animal species, whose life is intertwined with birds, are also included. This thematically rounds the story/stories. The film shows how industry nowadays can coexist with vibrant life.
