Songs of Earth
Songs of Earth (Norwegian: Fedrelandet) is a 2023 Norwegian documentary film written and directed by Margreth Olin. In the film, Olin follows her 85-year-old father through a year in the natural surroundings of Oldedalen in Vestland, where he grew up. The film had its world premiere during the documentary film festival CPH:DOX in Denmark on 18 March 2023, and a Norwegian cinema premiere on 1 September of the same year.
The film was selected as the Norwegian entry for the Best International Feature Film at the 96th Academy Awards. On December 7, it appeared in the eligible list for consideration for the 2024 Oscars, but didn't make the shortlist.
The film portrays Olin's existential journey with her own ageing parent in the backdrop of mountainous landscapes of Norway for a year. It is a cinematic work about life, death, nature and about simply being present in the world. Olin's parents’ love and lifelong loyalty bear quiet witness to how surroundings and inner space resonate with each other.
