 | | In the elegant symmetry of Janet McIntyre's Bird in Hand, the ambitions of a budding adolescent composer find an echo in a lab-raised bird trying, as the heroine is, to find his song in a confining atmosphere. |
 | | McIntyre, who was born in Chicago and now lives in Portland, Oregon, where she chairs the film and video department at the Art Institute of Portland, had no experience in ornithology before making Bird in Hand. |
 | | Watching McIntyre's film and listening to the calls of those birds, we sense that the director, like her young heroine, has an instinctive affinity for the beauty of their song. |
