Dehesa: The Forest Of The Iberian Lynx
1 x 90’ or 2 x 60’, 2020, 4K
The Dehesa is the Iberian Peninsula’s best kept secret – sometimes called the Spanish Serengeti, it is an ancient and wild grassland dotted with trees. But these are no ordinary trees; holm oaks, cork trees and gall-oaks have shaped this landscape. Today, large herbivores graze the landscape, stealthy Iberian lynxes prowl the shadows, formidable eagles patrol the skies, and colourful wildflowers conceal predators that have such astonishing camouflage they seem to completely disappear.

Future Proof Present
1 x 90’, 2020, HD
Shot in the Netherlands and Brazil, ‘Future Proof Present’ discusses the problems caused by the current Linear Economic model (take, make, consume and dispose). This film investigates the principles of the Circular Economy, a new and revolutionary way of thinking, a “Capitalism 2.0” adopted by the Netherlands with such success that it’s being considered as a promising economic guideline to a more sustainable and long lasting future. We discover the routine of a typical Dutch family in order to understand how such innovative ideas are already a part of people’s lives.

Dancing On Icebergs
1 x 90’, 2019, HD
In 2018 Kiwi choreographer Corey Baker made history when he filmed a world first; a dance film to highlight the impact of climate change on Antarctica. ‘Dancing on Icebergs’ chronicles the build up to the trip; preparation and delays, arrival and survival training, location scouting, staging and filming of the dance, successes and failures and sheer human courage and endeavour as the days tick away to their scheduled departure. Failure to complete the film in time would have seen the entire project fall apart, something that was always front of mind for Corey and crew.
