SiFF Film Festival: Programmer Pick

Written By Kaila Lee

Documentary Programmer Kathleen Mullen has named Yo (Love is a Rebellious Bird) her Top Pick for the Seattle International Film Festival!

“Anna and Yo are two kindred spirits who form an unbreakable intergenerational friendship. After Yo’s death, the director Anna creates a detailed miniature replica of her home—complete with a puppet version of Yo—an act of devotion that keeps her memory and stories alive. A creative, one-of-a-kind documentary.”
