Obsessed With Building "Best Birdhouse in the World" | Full Film

Originally titled "Holkmannen", this documentary by Mattias Olsson was co-produced by and broadcast on SVT (Swedish national television).
A word from the director:
Making a film about my father and his passion for birdhouses I guess wasn’t a very rational move. “Who on earth will care?” a voice inside of my head muttered. But I couldn’t stop myself. It was like the project wanted to happen and it grabbed me and wouldn’t let go.
Only afterwards did I realise it wasn’t really a film about my father and his birdhouses. It was a film about feeling true passion for something in a world that tells us we should care only about logical things; like our savings, our education, the local sports team, which car we’re driving or whether we can afford to renovate our kitchen.
Whenever true inspiration rises up - inspiration that bypasses the brain, that maybe doesn’t make any sense but just feels right anyway - I believe there’s an opportunity to step into a divine space.
What am I saying here, that my father’s bird houses are divinely inspired masterpieces? Yes, maybe that’s what I’m saying.
