Circus Of The Wild
1 x 90’ or 1 x 60’, 2019, HD
Barbary macaques are up to mischief in Gibraltar; pickpocketing unwary tourists. Their relatives, the Japanese macaques, are much more laid back. On Ellesmere Island, the wolves there have found a lost phone, now they’re playing football with it. They make us wonder. Especially when they turn up in unexpected places. Like little droll penguins that toddle over the sandy beaches of South Africa. Shouldn’t they be somewhere a little, well, cooler?
