TI - Geostory and the Apollo’s Gaze in Margreth Olin’s Songs of the Earth
AB - The paper proposes a reading of Margreth Olin’s documentary Songs of the Earth (Fedrelandet, Norway 2023), a hybrid of observational documentary, nature film and experimental visual essay. Olin’s story is related to the land and the planet Earth, where anthropogenic climate change is evident. In a combination of diverse cinematographic techniques, voice-over, statements from the director’s parents and traditional folk songs about the region, the authors recognise the story of E/ earth from a planetary perspective as told by Dipesh Chakrabarty. The main issues addressed in the paper are the complementary near-ground and aerial views and the connection between Songs of the Earth and the category of the sublime, frequently discussed in posthumanism.
