Songs of Earth

With the filmmaker's 85-year-old father as guide, we experience Norway's most adventurous valley, Oldedalen in Nordfjord. He grew up here, and here generations before him have lived in balance with nature.

“A remarkable, poetic meditation, Songs of Earth weaves the smallness of human life span into the grandness of the earth’s history, and does it all with unspeakable beauty.” – Alissa Wilkinson, Vox

“Margreth Olin’s Songs of Earth, executive produced by Liv Ullman and Wim Wenders, is a many-splendored thing: a home movie worthy of IMAX theaters.” – Nick Allen, RogerEbert.com

“Moving through the four seasons from spring to winter, there is the feeling that the ground is always shifting beneath one’s feet, but Olin affords the precious opportunity to stand still and take things in.” – Stephen Saito, Moveable Feast
