Synopsis
Written and directed by one of the crazy few, Birdmen tells the story of our attempts to defy the limits of our bodies, via a collage of fantastic aerial camerawork that captures the world's most spectacular scenery from impossible angles. Few other people understand the feelings involved, says Ellen. It's life-changing, and instantly addictive - but, as with all addictions, the feeling comes at a cost. At 100mph, even clipping a treetop can mean the end. But according to the initiated, that moment of freefall lasts longer than any other moment in your life - a feeling that transforms their perception of death. This incredible film is probably the closest most of us will ever get to experiencing it.
