Synopsis: Sebastien Lefebvre and Jeremy Hinton are respectively 28 and 24 years old. They

have just rowed across the Atlantic in 92 days in a 7 meter long boat. With approximately one

and half million strokes, they travelled 5500 km, in the duration of the course. They suffered

many setbacks: Sebastien's first partner quit after just two days at sea; they endured a

boats, 200 dolphins, 30 turtles and they arrived last in race. But why did they put themselves

through this ordeal?

Length: 2 min


Synopsis: If each seed of our flora and fauna had its proper place a definite role to play.

If every living shoot had been planted by a gardener with magic powers.

If during the bubbling effervescence of the making of a film we were to be

transported from the illusory to the reality. The "illusory" in this fairytale world

is that of the cinema pictures and the "reality" is what leads us to the very heart

of mystery of Creation...

The First Day of Fourth Month

Country: Georgia

Language: Georgian

Synopsis: The main hero brings to his cell some sea-shells-the symbols of the decorative

elements from the outer world of material reality. The hero who, is very eccentric in his

actions, represents the subject of history and society and bears the mystical sings.

From time to time, he behaves like a savage, like a half-crazy ape full of vital energy, but on

the whole he is an organized wild creature. Imagination and emotions are the only means of

escaping reality and fleeing info the spiritual world where his soul rejoices and perfect a

beautiful girl with a violin in the perfect environment…

Erämaa Elää

Country: Finland

Language: Finnish

Length: 39 min


Synopsis: Erämaa elää on luontoelokuva, joka sijoittuu Salamajärven kansallispuistoon.

Erämaa Elää poikkeaa luontoelokuvien totutusta tyylistä. Siinä ei tyydytä

esittelemäänluontoa ja kaatamaan katsojalle luontotietoutta, sen sijaan siinä pohdiskellaan

syvällisesti luonnon lainalaisuuksia, peilataan suhdetta luontoon ja etsitään vastauksia meitä

suomalaisia askarruttaviin kysymyksiin. Miksi olemme sellaisia kuin olemme? Kuinka

luonto ja ankarat olosuhteet ovat meitä muovanneet vuosituhansien mittaan? Mutta ihmisen,

luontokuvaajan, mukanaolosta huolimatta elokuvan pääosissa ovat Salamajärven alueen

eläimet. Erämaa todellakin elää; metsot kokoontuvat kevätöisin soitimelleen, kettu saalistaa

usvaisella suolla, kotka etsii syötävää talvisen lumimyrskyn kourissa, metsäpeurat laiduntavat

suurilla nevoilla ja niin edelleen.

Linnustajan Eräsyksy

Country: Finland

Language: Finnish

Length: 104 min

Completion date: December 2005

Synopsis: Syksyn tullen erämaat ja sorsavedet kutsuvat metsästäjää unohtumattomille

retkille. Koko jahtikauden mittainen loma antaa mahdollisuudet toteuttaa linnustajan elämää

milloin Lapin laajoilla kairoilla, milloin Suomenselän lintumailla tai Hailuodon rannoilla.

Linnustus tapahtuu asiansa osaavien metsästyskoirien avustuksella, joko saksanseisojilla tai

suomenpystykorvalla. Vesilinnustuksessa tehokkaina apulaisina touhuavat labradorinnoutajat

ja niin ikään noutajan virkaa toimittava saksanmetsästysterrieri antaa oman dramaattisen

panoksensa koko elokuvan tarinaan.

The Voice of the Aegean

Country: Greece

Language:English

Length: 61 min


Synopsis: The Aegean we knew and loved, with its pristine beaches, barren landscapes and

traditional villages perched on hilltops, is fast disappearing. The rapid, anarchic building of

recent years has trampled on the natural environment and is changing its distinctive character.

Through the use of archival material, this film traces the historical and social roots of today's

developments in the Aegean, including recent wars, emigration and the rise of the shipping

industry. The views of archaeologists and planners are interwoven with the debate among the

islanders themselves. Emphasizing the importance of nature in our lives and the value of the

Aegean's primeval beauty, the film also suggests creative ideas to achieve a more sustainable

prosperity.

Snakes in Paradise Country: Italy/Germany

Length: 27,30 min

Completion date: February 2005

Synopsis: There is a strange kind of silence in the forests of Guam. Of the twelve native species of

bird which once populated the forests of the southernmost Mariana Island, only three remain. As

for most of the endemic reptiles, they are now rarely to be found. The Brown Tree Snake "boiga

irregularis" is responsible. This pretty, moderately poisonous snake was inadvertently transported

onto this Pacific island fifty years ago by American troops, hidden between military material, from

its homeland Papua New Guinea. From a snake’s point of view Guam was at that time a paradise:

As Time Goes Sea

Country: Italy/Germany

Language: German (English subtitles)

Length: 27,30 min


Synopsis: The Llanrhidian Marsh is one of the largest areas of saltmarsh in the world.

It is a natural habitat, both sea and land at the same time, shaped by the constant change of

tides, and is protected as a world natural heritage site by UNESCO as well as being a

designated site of special scientific interest. Only a few animals selected by man and nature

have been able to adapt to these rough conditions. Over the centuries they have taken on

special characteristics necessary for survival and have passed them on to their descendants.

More than 250 horses and several thousand sheep still live freely here, on the Gower

peninsular, in west Wales. In the autumn the "cocklers" of Pen Clawdd arrive to collect the

desired shells of the area. This work has helped to support them since the collapse of the coal

industry.

A Preditor’s Paradise

Country: Finland

Language:English

Length: 43 min

Completion date: March 2006

Synopsis: Finnish cameraman Kari Kemppainen has been filming large predators in Eastern Finland

for some fifteen years. Bears, wolves, wolverine and lynx have long been persecuted here, but all

have made a major comeback in recent years as Kari has tirelessly documented. His remarkable wild

footage of bears fighting and mating, of wolverine family life and of the return of wolves to Finland

from Russia has shed much new light on these powerful but shy creatures. Predators' Paradise follows

Kari at work as he spends up to 200 days a year in the Kuhmo wilderness, sleeping overnight in his

filming hides to capture twilight activities of predators and the reindeer and elk they hunt. The

resurgence of large carnivores in Finland, especially wolves, has created tensions with hunters and

with people living in remote forests, but there are signs that predators are increasingly being accepted

today after centuries of distrust.

Benjam and The Bathunters Country: Finland

Language:English

Length: 50 min

Completion date: February2006

Synopsis: Finnish wildlife photographer Benjam Pontinen discovers the hidden world of bats with the

help of experts across Finland and Estonia. These enthusiastic, but sometimes eccentric "bat-hunters"

allow Benjam to see Europe's these shadowy night fliers in a new, more positive light.

Benjam's quirky bat quest takes him to vast underground mines, ancient castles and decaying mansion

houses. Filming bats proves challenging, uncomfortable, but ultimately truly revelatory.

Benjam discovers that bats still use tree-holes in summer, but since many of Europe's old forests have

been felled, they've also learnt to share people's homes. Many are unaware that bats live so close to

them!. Those who get to know bats better, soon realise they are nothing like the scary creatures of

legend and should be cherished, not cringed at!

Length: 66 min


Synopsis: In this undiscovered part of Northern Greece, the initiated can listen to distant

voices and contemplate forgotten images. The mountainsides, with their sharp vertical

massifs, surround the landscape tightly, like there is no way out… The aquatic roads however

split the mountainous castles and the incessant rhythm of the water satisfies man’s sense of

escape… The song of the fountains gives hope and so the journey continues within paths

never walked on before. This land is hospitable in its ruggedness, as beauty is born from steep

stone roofs, trunks and rock is present everywhere in all its expressions. Stone streets, stone

roofs, dry stones, boulders and water… Even so this ostensible monotony is transformed to a

charmer, who magnetizes the look, a tool of introspection, which reveals countless emotions,

ancient thoughts…Thus, here, the involuntary escape is realized and the traveler finds a land

shelter.

Panda Rei (Everything Flows) Country: Bosnia-Herzegovina


Length: 20 min


Synopsis: The documentary movie PANTA REI (old Greek proverb from Heraclitus

"Everything flows") is about “birth and death” of seasons in the eyes of the children.

Ibrahim and Amra Hrustic are playing carelessly in their settlement in different seasons.

They are picking the flowers, looking their dearest trees, going on the same path.

While they are looking at coming of the spring, summer, autumn and winter, they are

admiring to them. But, when the season underwent, they feel sadness. The honeybees and

butterflies are flying in front of their eyes, the grass is being mowed, the jam is being made,

and last leaflet is falling from the bough. When the winter comes they are playing on the snow

snowman is being dissolved; that imagination is far away from the reality and new spring is

being hinted. There is no speech in film so greater illusion would be created utilising picture

Fire Salamander

Country: Serbia

Language: English

Length: 16 min


Synopsis: Salamanders are on of the oldest groups of existing terrestrial vertebrates.

Salamanders are amphibians, related to frogs and toads. Because of their secretive nature and

nocturnal lifestyle, salamanders are one of the least studied groups of animals. They love

dark, wet places, often in deep woods, which is one reason why salamanders are the subjects

of numerous myths and legends. Traditional folklore held that salamanders could survive in

fire. Salamanders are extremely sensitive to changes in their ecosystems, and the health of

local salamander populations often mirrors the health of the habitat as a whole.

pasture. We are in the Greina Alps, a vast plateau (7 200 feet) which unites Tichino and

Grigioni. This will be the dairyman’s last year of producing his cheese and butter in a

wood-fired cauldron, in the traditional way. These mountain heartlands have been forced to

“modernize to European standards”. During the winter months, we return to the Motterascio

pasture via helicopter to find it cloaked in white, glacier-like. Later we accompany Giovanni

Boggini in to the white interior of the new laboratory. Resplendent with shiny tiles and

glittering instruments, it resembles a high-tech pharmaceutical plant. The incredulous dairy

man reluctantly accepts the sterilised car and other similar constrictions…

Cyanide Blues

Country: Sweden / Hungary

Language: English

Length: 27 min


Synopsis: Winter 2000 and all the world’s press are focused on Central Europe. Dying fish

and crying faces fill the front pages. The worst ecological disaster happened what ever stroked

European soils, killing Hungary’s beautiful river Tisza. But what became of the river that the

media called dead, once their interest had waned?

‘Cyanide Blues’ follows the lives of the people and the plight of nature after the disaster.

Finally it’s a positive story about a river that refused to die and people who refused to accept

defeat: The ecosystem fights back and so do people.

Beyond Fear-Communicating with great white Sharks

Country: Germany

Language: English

Length: 52min


Synopsis: There has been a long term misunderstanding between mankind and sharks. This

misunderstanding has lead to unscrupulous hostility and unbridled fear. For most people it is

unthinkable that this insensitive killing machine can have a different facet and that under

certain circumstances it is really possible to swim in harmony with this apex predator, if you

understand its body language. “Beyond Fear” wants to lobby for a better image for sharks to

show that, especially the great white sharks, are top predators which have a very important

role in the ecological balance of our oceans and that are unfortunately endangered.

The Pearls of the Baltic Sea Series - Part 1: Åland

Country: Finland

Language: English

Length: 45 min


Synopsis: People visiting the Islands of the Baltic Sea drop normally only into the most important

tourist resorts. The originality of the culture, the edges of the everyday life and the beauty of the nature

don’t open up to the short-time visitors. The islands of our home sea have stayed pretty much

unknown, even for most of us who live in the countries surrounding the Baltic Sea. The Pearls of the

Baltic Sea is a documentary in six parts, a story about a sailing trip, during which the islands Kotlin,

Åland, Saaremaa, Gotland, Bornholm and Hailuoto - the Pearls of the Baltic Sea are rediscovered.

At the same time it is a strong expression of opinion for the survival of the nature of our home sea and

also the people’s habits, the culture of the archipelago.

In the first film of the series we are in Åland and we are eye to eye with a white tailed eagle and a grey

seal, we are enraptured by orchids, and delve in to the world of perch, flounder the great crested newt

and stickleback. A naturalist who tags eagles and a family living on the island are also featured.

Garden of the Gods Country: Austria

Language:English

Length: 52min


Synopsis: Nothing has had a stronger and more lasting influence on European ideology than

ancient Greek mythology. The aura surrounding magnificent temples and other sites of

worship is charged with tales blending epic poetry with religion, literature and historical

events. Without a doubt, the writers of these tales drew their inspiration from the abundant

nature of Greece; for the flora and fauna of Greece ranks among the most diverse in Europe.

This unconventional documentary moves to and fro between the world of ideas and natural

facts. Schlamberger combines the magnificent visual imagery of the nature film with a

journey into the world of ancient Greek ideology, inviting us on an entertaining stroll through

the “Garden of the Gods”.

Synopsis: Billions of flowers vie for attention with flamboyant colours and spectacular

shapes, attracting insects, mammals and birds alike. Every year a barren stretch of land on

South Africa’s west coast turns into the largest floral canvas on the planet – a miracle created

by a unique combination of topography, weather and geography. But the miracle only lasts a

few precious weeks. Meerkats, molerats, ostriches, even the Nama people struggle to survive

as Namaqualand shows its true nature. This film chronicles the magical transformation of a

landscape: from fantasy fields of flowers to the drama of the desert, and back again.

stork. This delightful documentary shows the storks in their hardly known winter quarters in

Africa, accompanies them on their flight back north and follows them to various habitats

across Europe. To the lush wetlands along the river March, just a few miles outside Vienna,

where one of Europe’s biggest colonies of tree-nesting storks congregates on mighty oak trees

to raise their young, as well as to Spain, Western Europe’s number one stork country, with the

largest breeding colonies conquering every possible niche. Innovative camera techniques

provide amazing insights into breeding behaviour, hatching and stork migration, placing the

viewer smack in the middle of true stork life.

Synopsis: Some of the richest forests in the world cover the ridges and valleys of the southern

Appalachians. This film explores the hidden worlds of these remote valleys, and uncovers a

wealth of nature, from bears and salamanders to vultures and flying squirrels. But human

culture here is as rich as the natural history. These mountains were the heartland of the

Cherokee Nation, and the film producers worked with Cherokee living there today to re-create

their view of the forest world. Later, settlers from Germany, Scotland and Ireland in particular

helped create the distinctive culture of modern Appalachia, and to evoke all these elements

the film is set to a unique score, especially composed, which combines traditional music from

all these cultures.

are discovered at regular intervals. In recent decades, the few large mammals to be described

for the first time were all found in Indochina and experts assume that most of them are at

home in Laos: wild oxen such als the saola and kuprey or the truong son munjak. No outsider

have ever seen a living specimen of the latter; its existence is only known indirectly, through

skeletons, horns and bagged game that are occasionally found in remote villages.

Baja-The Other California

Country: Austria

Language:English

Length: 52min


Synopsis: Lower California in Mexico is home to many unique and little known creatures and

plants. On Either side lie remarkable waters. The pacific is wild and wave swept, but sheltered

lagoons provide a haven for grey whales and their new born babies. To the east lies the Sea of

Cortez, where giant manta rays and colourful dolphin fish live: John Steinbeck travelled

through this azure sea and wrote of its many biological wonders. From its discovery by the

conquistador, Hernan Cortez, up to the present day, Baja has guarded her secrets, and remains

“The Other California.”

Gesäuse-The Roaring Mountains

Country: Austria

Language:English

Length: 49,30min


Synopsis: The Gesäuse – the “Roaring Mountains” – a wild, mountainous region of the Alps,

a dramatic landscape of sheer, vertical rock faces, raging torrents of water and dark, secretive

forest. Nowhere else in the Alps are rock, forest and river arranged in such a steep vertical

alignment. The sound of the thundering water against the naked rock gives the area its name,

the roar of the mountains echoing around the imposing peaks. Generations of mountaineers

have tried to conquer these mountains, often paying with their lives, but they weren’t the first.

One hundred and fifty years ago, the monks of the Benedictine monastery of Admont reached

the summits. They were exploring, studying and cataloguing the flora and fauna of the region,

and fearless as they set out on their expeditions – “scientists in habits and hobnailed boots”.

Synopsis: Aside from “Homo Sapiens” Neanderthal Man is the most studied human species.

150 years after his discovery, many skeletal remains have been found at over 300 sites, but

never an entire skeleton. In the last decade new finds and research methods have drastically

changed our concept of the “ice age man” who dominated Europe around 300,000 years ago.

The image of a dumb, club swinging savage is not actually representative. Quarks & Co

embarks on a search for traces: When, where and how did Neanderthals live? Were they

intelligent? Could they speak? Did Neanderthals and modern humans ever meet?

they are both hunters and hunted. In their daily search for food, they have to avoid being eaten

by their enemies. In the never-ending struggle for survival, the winners are those which

observe the rules of their particular ecological niche. Its long been known that some fish emit

sounds-but how do they hear these sounds in the dense medium of water? What role do

cleaner fish play in the lives of their hosts? How do whitetip reef sharks behave on their

nocturnal hunting expeditions?With his long years expierence in underwater filming,

Rolf J Möltgen shows vividly that to survive, animals need to adapt perfectlyto their

Longfin

Country: New Zealand

Language: English

Length: 24 min


Synopsis: By taking one of aquatic life’s most maligned and demonised creatures, the longfin

eel, they weave a modern day allegory of man’s relationship with his environment, in the

context of one eel’s 84-year life cycle. From its beginnings in the dark corners of the ocean to

its transition into the river, Longfin follows the eel’s journey, the dangers it faces and its

eventual migration back into the ocean.Viewed as an ancestral figure by the native people of

New Zealand, the eel has evolved from a sustainable food source for this native community,

to a pest, and in recent times, to a valuable commodity in a million-dollar exporting industry.

Now, the future of the longfin eel is uncertain as the rivers are blocked by dams, commercial

fishing pressures rise and progress takes precedence over conservation.

From a Lake to a Mire

Synopsis: The animated developing history of Petkelsuo mire, in southern Finland.

Finland is a true mire land because one-third of our landscape, almost 10 million hectares, is

some kind of bog, fen, mire, or peatland. We also believe that the origin of the name of our

country comes from mires; Finland comes from fenland and in Finnish "Suomi" comes from

mireland. ("Suo" means mire and "mi" means land). With this film we would like to show the

developmental process of the mire and we hope that it helps people to understand the history,

structure and "soul" of the mires.

Iceland-The World Behind

Country: Germany


Length: 52 min


Synopsis: The World Behind is an impressive journey through a diverse country that indeed

has a lot more to offer than hot springs. Every single part of this island is filled with

phenomenal myths. In spite of the hard circumstances that everyday life on the edge of the

habitable world puts on its people, they still have along their down-to-earth mentality a strong

affinity to believe in things that are inexplicable. For these people the existence of elfs is more

than just an old wife’s tale. They believe in a dimension behind the visible world. The film

interweaves integral elements like literature, believe, and landscape, and tries to lift the secret

of the fabulous creatures that call Iceland their homeland.
