Circus Of The Wild
1 x 90’ or 1 x 60’, 2019, HD
Animals frequently make us laugh because of their unusual or clumsy behaviour, or the entertaining situations they get themselves into. This filmic journey around the world presents a wide range of astonishing and amusing animal antics, from mischievous Barbary macaques to penguins on beaches, from monkeys in thermal baths to elephants at a hotel reception.

Animal Babies

The first months of a wild animal’s life are fraught with danger. Newborns require sufficient food, must often compete with their siblings for their parents’ care and attention and must learn quickly how to survive in nature. In addition, they frequently face external dangers from predators or environmental conditions. This film is a gripping and emotional investigation of the perils young animals face in the forests, meadows and lakes and along the coastlines of northern Europe.

The Curse Of The Gothic Symphony
1 x 82’ or 1 x 60’, 2011, HD

At over two hours long, requiring two orchestras, four brass bands and five full choirs, this is perhaps unsurprising. Filmed over five years, this colourful and quirky documentary follows the journey of a brave and committed group of musicians, who attempt to break the curse and stage this epic work.
