Mikael Krist ersson. 2008\, 101 mins. DCP. The most personal of all of Mikael Kristerss on’s films opens with an impressive\, roving\, one-take exploration of wha t will soon be the complete world of the film: Kristersson’s own backyard in Falsterbo\, Sweden. Shot over the course of ten years and throughout th e various seasons\, Light Year is about how time feels\, and what it means in a natural environment. Like Kestrel’s Eye and Pica Pica\, there is an emphasis on the birds that inhabit the environment. But here\, the avian s ubjects are varied and surrounded by a larger variety of creatures includi ng insects\, cats\, and of course humans. The result\, most evident in the layered audio\, is one that is thrillingly active and alive\, moving and breathing\, and most of all\, simply being. \n\n\nTickets: $15 ($11 senior s and students / $9 youth (ages 3–17) / free for children under 3 and Muse um members at the Film Lover and Kids Premium levels and above).
