Annotation
SILLY ROBIN
A true story

Written, Filmed and Edited by IAN WOODWARD, FZS
(Fellow of the Zoological Society of London)

Narrator: BETH MAYOH

Britain is home to more than four million breeding pairs of the robin…and one such red-breast is the charismatic, entertaining and at times poignant subject of this film

One morning in early autumn the lives of English naturalist Ian Woodward and his Czech-born wife Zdenka are suddenly changed.

In their country garden near London they are befriended by a robin, England’s unofficial national bird.

It is the start of an amazing relationship between man and bird that would provoke smiles and induce tears.

It is a friendship that will arouse tenderness and stir up emotions of wonder, admiration and trust.

Zdenka and Ian call the red and brown songster ”Silly Robin”.

“It’s cold – and I’m hungry!” he seemed to be telling us.

“Being able to befriend our one-in-a-million cock robin has been a privilege” – Zdenka and Ian Woodward.

REVIEWS


JUDGING PANEL REPRESENTATIVE, BRITISH INTERNATIONAL AMATEUR FILM FESTIVAL 2012, WRITES:
“Of all the films I saw over the weekend, ‘Silly Robin’ was one of my favourites…what a good story. We liked the lovely opening shot of a golden September dawn and the excellent big close-ups of some of the wildlife in the garden such as the wood mouse, frog and squirrel. There was also the lovely shot of the chaffinch sitting on a branch, singing his heart out! The film was well structured with good production values and it succeeded very well in making us care for “Silly Robin”. The narration was informative, well delivered with a sympathetic voice. The camerawork was excellent and it must have taken considerable time and patience to collect all the material to make this movie. The editing was good and kept the film moving along, telling the story. The film worked so well that we felt sadness when “Silly Robin” was injured and, like the filmmaker, we thought he would not survive. Therefore, we too were very happy when he re-appeared at a later date. This was a very enjoyable film with a ‘feel good’ factor and one that I would love to see again. Our thanks to Ian Woodward for entering this film and letting us all enjoy his wonderful experience.”

WILLY VAN DER LINDEN (ANTWERP, BELGIUM), SILVER MEDAL WINNER AT THE SOUTH KOREA INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL 2011, WRITES:
“My wife was impressed by Ian Woodward’s film ‘Silly Robin’. Indeed, a very entertaining film…a pleasant one.”

GAIL MARDFIN, DIRECTOR OF THE SECOND FRIDAY SPIRITUAL CINEMA, THE CENTRE FOR SPIRITUAL LIVING, MORRISTOWN, NEW JERSEY, UNITED STATES, WRITES:
“On September 13, 2013, we will be screening Silly Robin, a sweet 15-minute British film by Ian Woodward about an amazing relationship between man and bird that will make you smile.”
