FREE AND OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
The surprisingly intense yet charming documentary by Owen Reiser, stars him and his brother as they learn about competitive birdwatching by becoming birders. They spend a year living in a minivan, traveling thousands of miles and infiltrating the niche birdwatching subculture to compete in the “Big Year,” where they set out to spot as many birds as possible. (dir. Owen Reiser, U.S., 2025, 119 min.)
“One of the funniest documentaries I’ve seen in some time.” -The Atlantic
