BSA Special Feature: For Your Consideration; Pigeons
We dedicate today’s edition of BSA Film Friday to the pigeons of the world, with a mix of film and still photography. The first offering is Antonin Niclass’s short film “Do Not Feed the Pigeons,” wherein a flock becomes a source of unexpected wonder for a group of weary travelers. Extra points for sound editing on this one. After the film we have the visual poetry of BSA’s own Jaime Rojo in short video and photography. Enjoy it.
