We’re out of the woods and songs

About This Movie

We're Out of the Woods and Songs is this unique documentary that dives deep into the hearts of folk masters as they craft sculptures and share personal stories about the Ablinga villagers who suffered a significant loss. The tone is reflective, almost somber, with an atmosphere that feels like a quiet homage to resilience. Pacing is deliberate, allowing time to soak in the rich textures of both the woodwork and the memories. It’s a bit raw, but that's where its charm lies – the practical effects of their craftsmanship blend beautifully with spoken word, making the artistic process feel alive. It's not just about the art, it's about the stories that weave through it, making each performance resonate on a different level.

This film has seen limited releases, and original prints can be quite hard to come by. It’s often overshadowed by more mainstream documentaries, which makes it an interesting piece for collectors who appreciate the more obscure gems. The scarcity and the intimate nature of its storytelling have led to a niche interest, particularly among those who collect works focused on folk art and cultural narratives.
