Strange Birds

These documentaries with a twist offer a reflection on people's natural habitats and curious habits.

The result?

A programme bursting with very human comedy that leaves the spectator both amused and perplexed.

All Inclusive, a surreal immersion on a cruise ship, doesn't need words to make its point about mass tourism. On the other side of the planet, The Traffic Separating Device causes chaos in the streets of a Swedish city, to the delight of passers-by. Shooting Stars challenges the viewer to interpret the meaning of a strange gathering on the streets of Berlin, while Nobu is the heartwarming tale of a Japanese man who flew to the Netherlands on a whim, never to look back.
