Synopsis

About the filming of Albert Serra's "Birdsong." Debut documentary filmmaker Peranson loved the Catalan director's work but never imagined that he would be selected to play Joseph, father of Jesus, in Serra's new film about the three kings' journey to Bethlehem. With an HDV camera in hand, Peranson arrives at the set on the Canary Islands and shot what he saw during the days he was not acting. While Serra films, he is in the process of discovering the film he had minimally sketched out on paper. Meanwhile, Peranson observes as Serra discovers, his camera more or less invisible, allowing the viewer to sense exactly what it is like to be in the midst of a film set run by a serious artist who is grappling with his chosen art form.
