"The Flight" -- Tribute to War Pigeons
"Particularly memorable is the morphing of pigeon wingbeats into artillery fire,
and the visual fade of a flock of birds into a squadron of bombers..."
and the visual fade of a flock of birds into a squadron of bombers..."
"Croseri's moving Flight is a brief video paying homage to one aspect of that cultural history -- the role that Rock Pigeons have played in war. Historic stills combine with beautiful images of pigeons flying free over New York City, The Flight reminds us that homing pigeons, by carrying messages and even taking photographs with cameras strapped to their iridescent-feathered necks, saved lives and won battles in the First and Second World Wars. The film does so without narration, relying on a somber but appealing sound track and juxtaposition of images to carry its message.
