Ghost Bird
Director In Attendance!
(Scott Crocker, USA, 2009, digiBETA, 85 min.)
The true story of an extinct giant woodpecker, a small town in Arkansas hoping to reverse its misfortunes, and the tireless odyssey of bird watchers and scientists searching for the holy grail of birds, the elusive ivory-billed woodpecker. Although considered extinct 60 years ago, bird watchers refused to accept its passing. Then, scientists from Cornell University announced that it had been found…but had it? Scott Crocker's new documentary was hailed in its recent world premiere at Hot Docs as "comic, mesmerizing and deeply poignant. This investigative doc is reminiscent of the work of Errol Morris in the way it casts a spell while telling a story and building a case."
