Murmur (2023)

Directed by Simon Smith

Overview

A contemporary fairytale about the relationship between a mother and her autistic daughter, and their fascination with starling murmurations.  Evie doesn’t seem to talk very much, though we learn she communicates with everything - the plants, grass, water, TV static and the starlings that gather over the sea. As murmurations form, so awakens a sense of understanding, connection and acceptance between mother and daughter. Murmur is a story of beauty and awe, utilising the stunning spectacle of the murmuration, a sign of greatness, as a metaphor for Autism Advocacy.
