Birds, bugs and butterflies: The collection of northern German farmer and photographer Jürgen Friedrich Mahrt (1882 -1940) is odd and a little bit uncanny. The documentary Dead Birds Flying High explores the quiet eccentric’s life and work. In 1919 he began to photograph the local flora and fauna and started to observe the extinction of species.
