The Solitary Life of Cranes

Asia Pacific Premiere

Part city symphony, part visual poem, The Solitary Life of Cranes explores the invisible life of a city, its patterns and hidden secrets, through the eyes of crane drivers working high above its streets.

The drivers observes London as it awakens with a bustle of activity, through the lull of midday and the manic rush in the evening, until it calms down again deep into the night. Throughout the film, the drivers share their thoughts and reflections on London and life in general.

What emerges is a lyrical meditation about how our existence is
shaped through the environment we inhabit, both for the drivers
high up in the sky, and the people on the ground.
