Followed by a conversation with Dr. Sanderson and filmma ker Mikael Kristersson \n\n Dir. Mikael Kristersson. 1998\, 89 mins. 35mm from First Run. Kestrel’s Eye is a film that is at once about who is being watched and who is doing the watching. A Swedish Oscar-winner for its cin ematography\, Mikael Kristersson shot Kestrel’s Eye in one of the small\, medieval cities of Skanör-Falsterbo on the southwest tip of the Scandinavi an Peninsula (not far from Copenhagen). The watchers are a group of falcon s living in the steeple of a church. A technical marvel\, Kristersson uses image and sound to weave together a story of the cycles of life and death . Its deeply tender portrait of falcons is filled with both the overwhelmi ng quiet and cacophony of the natural world. \; \n\n\n \n\n\n Tickets: $15 ($11 seniors and students / $9 youth (ages 3–17) / free for children under 3 and Museum members at the Film Lover and Kids Premium levels and a bove).
