Pianist/composer Tigran Hamasyan and director Ruben Van Leer unleash another mesmerising section of an ambitious longform project based upon the Armenian folktale Hazaran Blbul (or The Bird of a Thousand Voices).

A few months ago, Armenian-born Hamasyan and Dutch director Van Leer released The Quest Begins, as the spellbinding opening chapter of a stunning cinematic interpretation of the folk story. Sing Me A Song continues the story of the king's maligned son who embarks on a search for the mythical bird across the Armenian mountains, to save his father's kingdom and redeem himself.

The continuation of the story is once again characterised by Van Leer's epic cinematic vision. However, Sing Me A Song is also takes another bold narrative leap.

This chapter begins in the future, with one man as the final occupant of a toxic Earth at a remote telescope station, before finding the ancient tale in his shattered world, flashing back to the Prince's progress in the mythical tale, and the transcendental dreamlike visions that haunt them both.

From the dusty colour palettes of the future to the monochromatic rendering of the folktale, it is captured with wonderful cinematography by Ezra Reverda, filmed in remarkable, inspiring locations. This world is immersive, ominous and yet, ultimately, strangely hopeful, blending sci-fi, myth, and spiritual allegory.

This is another impressive chapter from the longer cinematic project - you can find out more on Van Leer and Hamasyan's collaboration on the project here. If you have not seen The Quest Begins, well worth checking that out before watching this.
