Lessons on Flight is a fascinating exploration, really. The use of black and white 16 mm film gives it this raw, timeless feel that complements the rural Chilean backdrop beautifully. The choice to process the film with olives—yeah, you heard that right—adds an organic quality that feels almost tactile. It’s slow-paced, inviting you to linger on the nuances of the green-backed firecrown hummingbird's flight patterns. There’s something poetic about how it captures these delicate creatures, contrasting their vibrant lives against the monochrome world around them. It’s less about a narrative and more about immersing yourself in this unique perspective on nature, with hand-colouring giving it distinctiveness that lingers long after the credits roll.
