‘If The Cuckoo Don’t Crow’ by Steve Kirby

“If the cuckoo don’t crow, then you know there’s wind coming…” Brian from Melton, England, recounts how his mother, Doris, was the woman who predicted the October 1987 hurricane and famously phoned the BBC, but was told not to be so daft. Story as told by Brian from Melton to Nick Pandolfi. Film and animation by Steve Kirby. Winner of the DepicT! British Special Mention Award at last week’s 21st Encounters Short Film & Animation Festival.
