Length: 52 min

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
hurricane that lasted 60 hours during which they couldn't eat or sleep; and they passed 10
boats, 200 dolphins, 30 turtles and they arrived last in race. But why did they put themselves
through this ordeal?

Country: France
Language: French
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...

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
Language: German (English subtitles)
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:
flightless birds, free from other food competitors, no natural enemies and animals for the taking in
abundance that didn’t even recognise a snake as a mortal enemy.Although the Brown Tree Snake

As Time Goes Sea

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!

Let us flee then to the beloved Fatherland
Country: Greece
Language: Greek (English subtitles)
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.

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.

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
and making the snowman. But suddenly they realize that their favourite tree is being cut, the
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
and sounds.

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.

Synopsis: For the brief summer period, Giovanni Boggini, native of the village of Aquila

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…

which they have established as their new habitat. The reason for this tropical immigration
wave is the continuous warming of the Mediterranean Sea. A team of scientists are
examining, whether and to what extent these immigrants from the south could threaten the

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

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”.

Country: Austria
Language:English

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

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.

Country: Austria
Language:English

Synopsis: In the last 10,000 years Europe has been transformed from a largely forested, virgin
landscape in to the manicured continent we know today, and at an ever-accelerating rate. As
culture spread its influence across the land with monumental symbols of ownership, animals
were tamed, seeds were sown, forests decimated and minerals excavated. How did wildlife
cope with these drastic changes, and what impact did they have on ourselves ?

Appalachia-The Endless Forest
Country: Austria
Language:English
Length: 52min
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.

Country: Austria
Language:English
Length: 52min
Synopsis: Southeast Asia at is best. 85 % of the country is untouched nature, widespread

forests, steep mountains and wide river valleys, but also cool high plateaus and savannahs.
The primeval forests support a fauna like something out of a fairy tale, with elephants, tigers,
leopards, and some of the rarest animal species on the planet. Species never seen by humans
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”.

utterly diverse looks, are the inner circle of a four-legged street gang, the Napoli Dogs. They
are known all around Naples and feared by many. When it comes to staking out their territory,

Country: USA
Language: English
Length: 7 min
Synopsis: Mountain Wall is the record of an accidental confrontation with the natural world
around us - a film made for both children and adults. Using a deliberate lo-fi method of
filming. Mountain Wall seeks a rough intimacy between the subject and the viewer. Inspired
by the Chinese poet Cold Mountain, who wrote his poems on rocks and leaves for others to
discover, this film reads the wall of the mountain, trying simply to see what is there and
attempting to tell others what it saw.

On The Trail Of The Neanderthals
Country: Germany
Language: English
Length: 45 min
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?

Cleaners ,Predators, and Freeloaders
Country: Germany
Length: 43min
Synopsis: On land or in the sea, there is one central fact that most animals have to cope with:
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
individual environments.

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
Country: Finland
Language:English
Length: 11 min
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.

Synopsis: Being the largest terrestrial ecosystem on earth, the Taiga forest is home for

specialised and diverse fauna, including the cold-adapted sedentary and cavity-using birds.
Annual ritual, the reproduction allows their natural mortality to be balanced and therefore
drives the eternal cycle of life. However, the on-going unrestrained use of the old Taiga forest
puts this fragile balance at risk.

the cleverness of the big marten. That way the director Oliver Goetzl and the

create an intimate portrait of the „Hyenas of the North“.

Meeting with Osprey
Country: Lithuania
Length: 28 min
Synopsis: This is a documentary by a young promising author about a couple of Ospreys –

rare birds living in Labanoras forest, Lithuania. The film reveals an intimate nest life of
Ospreys. It also shows the life of new Osprey generation: exciting first weeks of featherless
baby birds, later – attempts-competitions of fluttering, and finally a long-awaited first flight.
The film presents Osprey family traditions which were later adjusted by shocking events. The
camera was hidden at almost 30 metre height and recorded unique moments reflecting
unusual Ospreys behaviour.

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.
