Wildlife Vaasa Festival - BOOK of ENTRIES 2010

Dear Friends and Colleagues, Once again this year we at the Terranova Nature Centre of the Kvarken Area
in Vaasa, Finland, have re-embarked on our fifth biennial journey around the world, to present our audiences a diverse and engaging arrays of nature and scientific programs which are produced during the last three years. This years Wildlife Vaasa Festival spotlights Nature and Wildlife in a very large diversity of settings within 210 films from 47 countries from around the world participating in our film competition. And that great score, thanks to the remarkable and creative work of hundreds of talented filmmakers, producers who are dedicated to document Nature on its own terms. As a result, our international competitions 5 award categories have been inundated with films, therefore, it is with reluctance that only 6-12 films per category have made it to the final stage. However, there will be plenty of non-finalists that have been nominated for special awards handed by public and private organizations and institutions of Vaasa City and the Ostrobothnian region. As the final stage of the competition will take place during the festival dates, it will certainly be a very hard task for our international Jury Members to select the best films of this years festival. We all look forward to the Award ceremony on Sat. November 20th at Vaasa Librarys Drama Hall. Finally, all films participating in the festival this year will be available at the festivals video library. Our screening venues: st - Terranova Auditorium at the Ostrobothnian museum screening from: Wed. 17 Nov. to Sun.21 Nov. - Vaasa Librarys Drama Hall screening from: Wed. 17 Nov - to Sun. 21. Nov - Vaasa Universitys Wolff Auditorium screening from: Wed. 17 Nov - to Fri. 19. Nov As in our previous festivals we have also included for a fourth time a Children and Youth Film Competition in 3 award categories. Such film competition aims to promote media education at schools on a local, regional, national and international level. This time, we are proudly presenting 47 nature films from 13 countries around the world. Almost half of these film projects are implemented in the Ostrobothnian region, thanks to the significant support we have received during the last year from the Finnish Cultural Foundation, the Ostrobotnian Council, Child & Nature Foundation and The City of Vaasa. Therefore, for all these films we are going to dedicate a whole festival day (Sunday Nov- 21st.) including presentations, screenings and of course the Award Ceremony of this competition. The venue will be Vaasa City Librarys Drama Hall and its free for everyone to join that event. During the festival days, several delegates from around the world will join us this year, including many awarded filmmakers from Finland, Sweden, Norway, Estonia, Lithuania, The Netherlands, Germany, Canada, Ethiopia, Senegal, India and finally a 10 VIP-delegation from China representing the City of Yaan, Chinas Film Archive, and YD-Communication which organizes every year the foremost Chinas Animal & Nature Film Festival in the City of Yaan, at the Sichuan Province which is the land of the Giant Pandas! Therefore, journalists, media publishers and Television broadcasters will have a unique opportunity to attend our festival, check out the newest productions which are competing in our festival this year and interview the filmmakers during our press conferences which will be kept on a daily basis. Finally, the festival winners of the International competition will be published on Saturday during the award ceremony and will be all screened during the last festival day on st Sun.Nov. 21 at Ostrobothnian museums Terranova Auditorium.. Highlighting the vital connections between land and water within our environment, it always makes up a special theme for our festival, especially after year 2006, when Kvarken Area was proclaimed by UNESCO one of its foremost World Natural Heritage Sites for its unique landscapes combined with land uplift phenomena. Therefore, th an excursion to the Kvarken Area will be organized for our delegates on Sat Nov. 20 In addition, a Vaasa Cityth tour will be offered to our delegates and it will take place during Wed. Nov 17 Vaasa Citys delegates reception th will take place on Thu. Nov 18 at the Governors House near by the Ostrobothnian museum.

The Forest
The Central European Forest a secret place whose inhabitants live clandestine lives. How do innumerable organisms, large and small, live together? Are our forests truly natural or the result of mans intervention? Do they have anything in common with untouched wilderness? The denser the forest, the darker it becomes down on the ground. Only a few animals and plants have adapted to this lack of sunlight. Yet our forests were not always like this. Before man began to redesign earth as he saw fit, woods were more open, like parks

The Forest Part 2 The Fight for Light
Ref:5
There was plenty of light throughout the year. The landscape architects in those days were large herds of herbivores. It was their phenomenal appetite that had much to do with shaping forests. But over the last 30,000 years, man has eradicated almost all larger mammals. Several members of the elephant family, bison, wild horses, rhinoceros and giant deer disappearedOn the plains of Central Europe, it would otherwise be much like the Serengeti in Africa. The uncultivated forests, where herbivores roam freely, are a thing of the past. Yet experiments in conservation areas show that many larger mammals can still coexist with man and one fact that is finally being acknowledged is that a truly natural wood needs a play of forces that ensure that light and warmth are allowed to penetrate. Only then will the habitat become as rich in life as it once was.

The Crayfish in the Jam Jar
Ref:6
The 76 km long valley of the river Isen was formed by the glaciers of the last Ice Age. Small alluvial forests flank the river and its banks, which are home to many remarkable animals and plants; rare fishes such as the rifle minnow, the undermouth and the loach can be found in the Isens clear waters. The kingfisher loves to hunt here; the red-backed shrike builds his nest in the hedges that grow on the rivers sunny slopes and birds like bluethroats, sedge warblers, green sandpipers and an especially droll bird whose song compares to a creaky sewing machine the river warbler can still be found here. This Bavarian idyll is under pressure from an unexpected side. The idea of renewable energy is starting to change the countryside, more and more biomass power plants are built and they need fuel. To produce this fuel meadows are turned into corn- or rapeseed fields. Farmers are slowly becoming energy suppliers. Does this mean that the biodiversity of the Isen valley is in danger, endangered by eco-friendly energies? What does the future hold for our valley, what will the landscape along the Isen look like?

Country: Greece Language: English subtitles Length: 43 Completion date: 2008
Ref:8
Synopsis This is the story of the Gulf of Corinth in Greece that separates mainland Greece from its south part of Peloponnesus. The sea is home to three kinds of dolphins and even whales have very rich diversity of marine life in its deep waters that can reach up to 900 m depth. The Gulf of Corinth is associated strongly with the Greece mythology and a history of more that 6 000 years. At the east side of the sea is the famous Corinth Canal, a 6 km long sea stripe connecting it by sea with the Aegean Sea On its west end a modern giant 2,5 km long bridge connects Peloponnesus by land with mainland Greece. Nowadays, there are many environmental concerns there due to a red mud pollution at the bottom of the sea caused by an aluminium factory operating on its mainland coast. The red mud seems to contaminate the sea and affects marine life in the Gulf, threatening also the health of the inhabitants around it. This film is depicting the beauty of the Gulf of Corinth including also a strong conservation message against its pollution.

Farming Our Future
Country: India Language: Sutitled in English Length: 25 Completion date: 2009 Synopsis
Ref:9
The film Farming Our Future depicts the ill effects of chemical farming and the role of organic farming in the creation of a healthy world. As lifes pace accelerates, we tend to neglect our environment. This has led to the extent of poisoning even the mothers milk; the baby inside the womb has not been spared, either. The chemicals applied in agriculture are really compositions which have deleterious effect on human body. As a result, the quantity of these toxic substances in the food we consume is also large. The frantic efforts to step up food production to match the fast growth in world population have resulted in very serious consequences. Our ancestors had acquired a deep insight into the environment surrounding them. When they cleared the woods to get living space, they preserved certain regions as kaavu (Sacred groves) which is a small evergreen patch in the courtyard from where even a twig is not taken away for human use. One sees here the beginnings of organic farming. Organic farming, which is beneficial in social, economic and environmental aspects, has a solid scientific support, too. Use of locally available resources is the highlight of organic farming. Healthy soil means healthy food; healthy food means healthy people.

Blue Revolution in Lakshadweep
Country: India Language: English Length: 28 Completion date: 2008
Ref:10
Synopsis The tiniest and single-district Union Territory of India, Lakshadweep is an archipelago consisting of 12 atolls, three reefs and five submerged banks. It comprises 10 inhabited and 17 uninhabited islands, attached islets, 4 newly formed islets and 5 submerged reefs spread over 32 sq. km in all. It is located approximately between 8 - 12 North latitude and 71 -74 East longitude. It is in the emerald Arabian sea 220 - 440 km away from the coastal city of Kochi in Kerala. In Lakshadweep, drinking water is a serious problem and people heavily depend on the scarce ground water which is far from sufficient for their requirements. Technologies like desalination and reverse osmosis have been tried to get fresh water which, however, proved economically unviable. This serious drinking water problem of the islanders was overcome, jointly by the Center for Water Resources Development and Management (CWRDM) and India Canada Environment Facility (ICEF), by means of rainwater harvesting. This film is about the resounding success achieved in solving drinking water problem in the remote Lakshdweep Islands through rainwater harvesting using structures based on ferro-cement technology.

This is the story of a major journey of a place that old legend has cast its spell on. A magical place where even today the air echoes ancient stories of Gods, sea monsters and storms that would sink vessels that ventured from this very spot. A cursed place that seems to have a soul of its own. Its waters have taken more lives than any other place on Earth. This small stretch of sea is at the nearest point between two different continents; hence, it is a necessary part of the journey for all animal migration that has taken place between four worlds that only merge here: Africa, Europe, the Atlantic and the Mediterranean.Year upon year, this setting portrays an epic in which thousands of forms of life face the fury of nature in order to cross the threshold from one world to another: This is the Strait of Gibraltar.

People and Rubbish
Country: Nigeria/ Senegal Language: English Length: 15 Completion date: 2010 Synopsis
Ref:23
Every hour, a hundred African children die from diarrhea. Most of these lives can be saved through better access to sanitation and improved basic hygiene. What would make an educated man, in a suit, buy banana on the roadside and throw the peel from a balcony to the ground when he is done? That behavior is indicative of the level of contempt we have for public health and our environment. The magnitude of public health problems in Africa is evident from the heaps of filth on which we sit and eat and do business. Our cities, streets, our backyards, our living rooms, our hospitals, our restaurants and our so-called five stars hotels are marked with little pyramids of filth, including industrial effluents. It is amazing how we share our territory with outrageous heap garbage and waste matter and still maintain good health.

We started following the tylorrhynchus habitats ten years ago and have recorded many rare scenes of Chu Zao. However, these scenes are gradually disappearing as a result of industrialization. For the last several years, the rapid industrial development near Zhupaisha and the worsening pollution in upstream West River have been damaging the tylorrhynchus habitats and caused a year-by-year decrease in tylorrhynchus production. Villagers of Zhupaisha are using their wisdom to protect the environment and take care of the only tylorrhynchus habitats they have left. Now the number of tylorrhynchus begins to increase, and scenes of their Chu Zao can again be captured by cameras.

Bloody Fox
Country: The Netherlands Language: Subtitled in English Length: 78 Completion date: 2009 Synopsis:
Ref: 45
When Holland banned shooting foxes in 2002, these canines seized their chance. The foxes used to be curbed by hunters, but now appear in more and more places they were never seen before. This led to consternation among farmers and hunters, but also among many conservationists. They were enthusiastic about the success of the fox but also saw how this carnivore threatened other protected species such as waders. In the spring of 2006, the Dutch government gave way to pressure from the hunting lobby: now its open season for foxes again. This film examines the battle between man and fox. Can this animal - a native of the low countries - decide whether it can maintain itself here or will we shape its fate from the drawing board? Nature seems stronger than people can suspect. And conservationists are becoming increasingly divided...

Gorillas: Journey for Survival
Ref: 56
In late 2001, from the rain forests of Cameroon, four helpless baby western lowlands gorillas were taken away after their mothers had been killed by poachers. The infant gorillas were later taken to Nigeria and kept in the Ibadan zoo. Documents were forged certifying that the four gorillas were born in the Ibadan zoo, thus making it possible for the four gorillas to be smuggled through South Africa to Malaysia. After several years they mysteriously ended up in South Africa at the National Zoological Gardens. However this was not meant to be their final destination. This film chronicles the excitement of returning the Taiping Four home. It features the Gorillas emotional and intensive journey from South Africa into the Limbe Wildlife Centre in Cameroon. Footage of hunters and ex-hunters reveal the truths and myths about the bush meat trade and explain the world of poachers and gorilla hunters in the Cameroon.

Out of Africa Frogs in Demand
Ref: 58
The joy of knowing that you are pregnant and that your genetic material will live on in your newborn baby is an emotion to be shared and celebrated. In the late 1920s it was discovered that if urine from a pregnant woman was injected subcutaneously into a female clawed frog, the frog will spawn. This developed into the first commercial pregnancy test and from the early 1930s until the early 1960s, large numbers of clawed frogs were exported from South Africa to various destinations worldwide for this purpose. In recent times frogs from every continent around the world have suffered from unexplained high death rates, resulting in various species undergoing severe population reductions and pushing others to the brink of extinction. Could it be that this pregnancy test was also responsible for the global decline of amphibians?

Poppys Promise
Ref: 64
An organic cornfield, is a truly wild, species rich wonderland where wild dramas, tragedies and even a few comedies take place on this stage of life created by humans. In summer, our farmer raises a sea of waving heads of rye; in winter he sows grasses and clover for hungry cattle. Then in spring, corn is planted. As seed germinates, the field changes, as if by magic, into a Garden of Eden, populated by the most varied and eccentric life forms.

Bohemia A Year in the Wetlands
Ref: 67
In Bohemia, at the very heart of Europe, south of the Golden City of Prague and guarded by medieval castles, lies a hidden mosaic of lakes and gently flowing rivers, of misty forests and mysterious peat bogs. This important wetland, shaped both by nature and centuries of influence by man, is a magnet for huge flocks of birds and home to an amazing diversity of plant and animal life. In spring there is an explosion of life as the trees are weighed down with nests of cormorants, egrets, herons and storks. With the arrival of winter the landscape becomes silent and desolate. Otters are hunting fish under the ice of frozen lakes while White-tailed Eagles soar over gaps in the ice, targeting fish and birds. Since his early childhood wildlife cinematographer Jiri Petr has spent much of his time in this wildlife paradise. Together with him, we will explore this remarkable habitat and observe the changing faces of nature during the course of one year that inspired many artists and writers alike.

Mount St. Helens Life from Zero
Ref: 68
In 1980 Mount St. Helens exploded in one of the most powerful eruptions on American soil in modern times. Everything living was buried beneath 300 feet of avalanche debris, covered with steaming mud, topped with a superheated layer of frothy rock. It seemed as though Mount St. Helens might remain wasteland forever. Will nature be able to re-colonise this lost territory? Finding the answers has become the life-long quest of one man - biologist Charlie Crisafulli who has spent almost 30 years on the site. This is the story of natures astonishing comeback to Mount St. Helens - a story of life from zero

Wild Balkans
Country: Austria Language: English Length: 51 Completion date: 2009
Ref: 69
Synopsis Wolves hunt their prey in the valleys between high-ranging dunes, bears and lynxes wander through dense primeval forest, and the big lakes are a magnet for hundreds of bird species. That is the so-called Balkan. Today the Balkans stand for a Europe that hardly exists elsewhere. The mountains of Montenegro harbor one of Europes last primeval forests with trees that over 400 years of age. In the difficultly accessible hinterland we find the Tara National Park with the deepest gorge in the Karst Mountains the 1.300 meters deep Tara gorge. Nearby Lake Skadar is home for 270 species of birds; no other lake in Europe can claim such diversity. Europes last coastal forest area can be found in Albania and in Bulgaria and Romania huge bat colonies live in the cave-dotted mountains. In Serbia one can cross the European Sahara, a desert covering a surface of 30.000 hectares. This documentary takes us on the journey through untouched wilderness in a region that has disreputably been called a powder keg and where conflicts have drawn attention away from its hidden treasures.

Ref: 74
The existence of whales in the Strait of Gibraltar is a very recent discovery, but their survival is now critically threatened. The uninterrupted traffic of more than 300 container ships per day is blocking the path to their age-old feeding and breeding grounds. It has become a battle no inhabitant of the deep can win. The world has become dependent on the products that traffic through the Strait delivers: fruits, vegetables, household goods and oil. The relentless demand for consumable products, which are transported through Gibraltar results inevitably in an everincreasing number of collisions between ships and sea mammals. THE LAST GIANTS is the story of how human intervention could turn the tide against a global tragedy.

She is Lady Liuwa, the Last Lioness. In the early nineties, a scourge of illegal poaching and trophy hunting tore through Liuwa Plain. Many species were lost. Liuwas lions, once famous for their size and beauty, were reduced to one resilient survivor. Shes become known as Lady Liuwa, and today she is the only known resident lion on Zambias Liuwa Plain. Each day is a new test of survival for her. Hunting alone is difficult and often unsuccessful. Since the lions disappeared, hordes of hyenas have come to dominate the plain, threatening to steal every kill she makes.

Trace of Gala
Country: Azerbaijan Language: English Length: 21 Completion date: 2009 Synopsis
Ref: 87
The film tells about the original ethnic culture village Gala on its dawn and disappearances There were more than forty fortresses in the villages surrounding Baku area, but only one, located 25 kilometers to the north-east, was named Fortress (or Gala in Azeribaijani). Why is Gala different from the other villages? Archaeological excavations carried out in the village of Gala show that people lived there even 5 thousand years ago. If we take into account that the Gala is the highest point around Baku and it was frequently attacked by foreign invaders, the name can be understood as a castle and a story that is still alive Production Organization(s): Salname Film Studio Producer: Boyukagha Mammadov Director: Shamil Aliyev Photographer: Elshan Hasanoghlu Picture Editor: Elmir Hasanov Script Writer: Nadir Badalov Sound: Rauf Aliyev Composer: Elmir Mirzoyev Submitted by: Shamil Aliyev Distributor: Nurfilm Producer Centre, Shamil Aliyev

Catfish - Monster in the lake?
Ref: 92
In 1761, a giant monster is pulled from the Oder River: an 820-pound Wels Catfish, the largest sweet-water fish in Europe. Not just any old fish: Until this day, the Wels Catfish remains a curse, a legend, a myth as well as a tasty dish and prized catch. In 1979, two river policemen observed a Wels Catfish that was almost as long as their 5 m long vessel. But how much of the stories are fact and how much fancy? There are two men who have devoted their lives to studying the catfish, Europes leading expert, Oliver Portrat, and prizewinning underwater cameraman Sigi Braun. To get to the bottom of this mystery, they take us with on a trip from Bavaria to the farthest reaches of Eurasia. The largest animals of its species are found in the pristine Ili Delta in Kazakhstan. But it is also a study in people, the inhabitants of the Wels lakes, the habitants of this giant. Wherever the giants appear, myths, legends and tall tales arise, spinning a web of story and mystery.

The glacier is dying. Like so many others throughout the world, seventy years has seen it lose a third of its majesty. A death throe lasting millennia which wipes away an entire world drop by drop, and leaves a new one in its place. These drops have been carving out the world which surrounds us since time began. They created the Alps, and all the mountain ranges on the planet. They gave us the waterfalls and the caves. They are the springs of life which provide our most essential resource: water. But they are also a source of death and destruction. Their power causes landslides of uncontrollable force.

11 Degrees
Country: Germany / Scotland, UK Language: English Length: 8 Completion date: 2009 Synopsis
Ref: 95
The documentary follows the development of a skiing season in a Scottish ski resort. It explores the effects the climate change has on the Scottish winters and consequently on the ski resort. Narrated by one of the lift operators, we are introduced to this old fashioned place with its slow pace of life, dominated by the rhythms of the lifts and the machines. Starting at the height of the winter season, the film depicts idyllic scenery which suddenly takes a shift when the temperature rises to 11 Degrees over night. Due to less snowfall and more rain, skiing has become more difficult in Scotland. As such, the documentary focuses on visual metaphors which tell the story of the struggling resort and also explores the peoples passion and enthusiasm to keep skiing alive no matter how difficult the conditions are. The characters love for skiing and his optimism are intertwined with the images of a changing world. Embedded in the transition of the scenery, the film slowly reveals the challenges and economical problems the communities are facing in these times.

Synopsis The Membracide insect family is roughly unknown to us. However, these neotropical treehoppers are probably the most astonishing creatures ever concocted by Nature! Some people view them as nothing more than miniature aliens; others consider them to be true masterpieces of biodiversity. In either case, with their weird and wonderful shapes, they are a source of bewilderment for the scientific community. Be it a whim of Nature or an extreme case of mimicry, with their impressive forehead protrusions, they look like living sculptures. They resemble something straight out of a Sci-Fi movie, and yet they are well and truly real tactile inhabitants of the treetops and the various strata of the tropical rainforests. The Aliens of the Amazon team has sought out these mysterious insects, accomplishing the first ever scientific documentary dedicated to them. Equipped with state-of-the-art imagery gear, a group of researchers embarking on an expedition in Ecuador has revealed the infinitely strange, observed the hitherto unseen, listened to the most outlandish of sounds and elucidated previously-unexplained entomological mysteries.

BEES EXTINCION, SOLVING THE MYSTERY
Ref: 101
Country: France Language: English Length: 52 Completion date: 2008 Synopsis An acute analysis of an international alarming phenomenon, this gripping film is conceived like a police investigation, aiming at unfolding a criminal mystery. Here, the inquiry is about the bees that are vanishing from the face of the planet. It is a spreading disaster, first spotted November 2006 in the USA, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Poland, UK and France. Losses sometimes reach 90% of a beehive population. In a world where a 153 billion dollars share of agriculture depends on bees to pollinate, the food industry is starting to worry. From witness to witness, viewers collect and assemble the first pieces of information. Every scenario is examined in an attempt at understanding the phenomenon. Is it the Varroa (an acarid), the Nosema (a fungus), a virus, the pesticides, the impoverishment of the floral areas, the beekeepers methods, the magnetic waves? As the investigation continues, renowned scientists from all around the world (USA, Switzerland, France and Germany) are invited to answer these questions and clarify this obscure situation.

Sentinel Animals- Warning! Earthquake
Ref: 102
Country: France Language: English Length: 52 Completion date: 2008 Synopsis Certain species of animals have astonishing physiological responses to pollution or to the announcement of an imminent natural disaster. Their instincts and physiologies, their proximity to nature, make them our allies in the prevention of natural and industrial risks that threaten our Earth. In Japan, people are convinced that the great Kanto earthquake that ravaged Tokyo in 1923 causing 140,000 deaths will soon be repeated. So, in addition to the regular training sessions offered to the public, certain scientists are hoping that their studies of animal behaviors will result in lives being saved. Preventing the disaster is impossible, but knowing how to decipher the signals given by animals remains one possible means of warning the population of an imminent earthquake. From Professor Ohtas dog-cloning project to the EQ-sign, the first earthquake detector directly inspired by animal behavior, not forgetting Professor Nagaos studies of the catfish, all potential solutions are examined. In China, the warning signals that animals can transmit before an earthquake are well recognized.

But after the disaster, very few animal victims were found. What happened before the tsunami? Were the animals able to sense the arrival of the killer wave? In that case, why were humans so unaware of the signals? Deep-sea fish seen in shallow waters; elephants that felt the vibrations several hours before the arrival of the wave; tourists saved by elephants in Thailand, visitors alerted by birds in the Yala National Park in Sri Lanka; hundreds of witnesses in Thailand and Sri Lanka who reported disturbing animals behaviors before the tsunami. Did the animals really sense the impending disaster? Why then were certain marine species such as turtles trapped and swept inland? Why did elephants being tracked by satellite at the same moment on the south coast of Sri Lanka not react?

Sentinel Animals- Warning! Air Pollution
Ref: 104
Synopsis From plants to animals, a multitude of living organisms are being studied by scientists trying to gain a better understanding of atmospheric pollution. More than a century ago, the canary, used by miners, demonstrated its extreme sensitivity to gas in coal mines. Today, lichens, mosses, birds of prey and cattle are the focus of highly advanced research projects being carried out by the scientific community worldwide. But the effects on ecosystems and human health are already dramatic. In the Netherlands, researchers such as Professor Marcel Visser emphasize the impact of global warming, which is disrupting food web cohesion and contributing to the imminent extinction of migratory birds such as the flycatcher. In France, researchers at the French national research agencies, INRA and CNRS, are using bees as sentinels for urban pollution; in Spain, Dr. Marta Lopez Alonso has proven, through her experiments with cows and dogs, the extreme toxicity of coal-burning thermal power plants. In the United States, homing pigeons equipped with GPS systems and cameras transmit information to scientists on the level of air pollution in major Californian cities. Found in the natural biotope or used as a means of monitoring, sentinel organisms for air pollution contribute to the evaluation and prevention of toxic risks.

Here, the earth is still young and unsure of itself, and nature, like an unsatisfied artist, constantly destroys and remakes its canvas again and again in a dramatic circle of creation and destruction. 20 different climatic zones blend into each other: Volcanic vents smoke next to glaciers, meters high snowdrifts lie side by side with boiling hot geysers.

Wild Russia Siberia
Ref: 112
Synopsis In the series Wild Russia we take you on a journey which explores the nature of the mighty state between the Black Sea and Pacific Ocean. This episode leads the viewer into an expansive wilderness in the heart of Russia, where the cold rules with a chilly hand - this is Siberia. Lying beyond the Ural Mountains, Siberia encompasses roughly ten percent of our planets landmass. There is no doubt that this is a land of superlatives: huge fluctuations in temperatures - about 80 degrees, the worlds biggest lake and probably the most resilient animals on Earth.

Country: Hungary Language: English subtitles Length: 26 min Completion date: 2009 Synopsis
Ref: 114
Bird migration, one of the most spectacular natural phenomena, has always intrigued people. During human history, several accurate observations and often mistaken conclusions have been written down about the migration of birds.Some believed that cuckoos transformed into sparrow-hawks and redstarts turned into robins in the autumn. Others reasoned that birds spent the winter on the Moon. Where do migratory birds disappear in the autumn so that they can reappear in the spring just as fast as they left? Hungary was the first country in the world where bird ringing took place on a national scale in 1908

The Future, at What Price?
Country: France Language: English subtitles Length: 52 min Completion date: 2010 Synopsis
Ref: 119
If we want to avoid the climate catastrophe, we need to urgently cut planetary CO2 emissions by half. Unfortunately the experts are predicting that global energy consumption will double in 2050. Reasonable energy consumption is the only concrete solution. All other options are nothing but illusions for those blinded by reality. Can the carbon trading market give rise to this environmental revolution or is it an ideal opportunity for greening reckless speculators. Can fiscal constraints such as the carbon tax put the brakes on the aberrant growth in global trade provoked by trend for labor outsourcing and the nearly free cost of transporting goods? The price that we give to carbon is that of our future Our childrens future.

Ref: 128
Hardly any other group of birds has been the source of such intense and contradictory interest to humans as the members of the raven family. That interest has continued from long ago, back when the Germanic tribes were at their strongest, to the present day. The film immerses us in the world of the indigenous ravens and sets off on a journey through time, traveling from the Alps to the North Sea. The birds are all unusually curious and intelligent, ravens being the only birds that not only use tools, but produce them themselves. Many of them live in fixed social structures and remain faithful to their partners for life. They all make particularly good parents.The film offers new and fascinating insights to the world of these birds.In HD format, this production takes viewers on a colorful journey through the world of these highly intelligent, and all too frequently misunderstood and misinterpreted, family of indigenous birds.

Chilies to the Rescue! Easing the Human-Elephant Conflict
Ref: 142
Africa is reporting a rise in elephant numbers. At the same time the population of humans is growing. Man and elephant require space. Conflicts between both are unavoidable and the battle between humans and elephants is getting more grisly and costlier. Conservationists and gamekeepers of Africa are researching new methods to manage the jumbos: especially chili peppers seem very promising as the elephants long trunks are very sensitive to the hot spice. But the question remains: Is there any chance for a permanent and peaceful coexistence of humans and elephants? How many elephants can the African continent handle?

The Invisible Bird Photographer
Ref: 148
To take a good picture about a bird is hard and difficult. To take the perfect picture about a bird doing things youve never seen before - is nearly impossible. Professional equipment, experience and intimate knowledge of birds are surely needed but by far isnt enough to succeed. Bence Mts pictures are telling everything about the secret lives of birds - but telling nothing about the secrets of cutting-edge bird-photography. If you want to know how this young and obsessed young man won every imaginable prize worldwide, how he was/is awarded time after time on BBCs prestigious Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, you just have go and ask. Thats exactly what we did when filming The Invisible Bird Photographer. We worked together with him for years on this project but never stopped admiring the way he lives and works in nature. Come and meet Bence Mt and see how he becomes invisible - to the birds eye view, at least.

Merenkurkun kalapuroilla (At the Fish-Brooks of Merenkurkku/Kvarken)
Country: Finland Language: Finnish/English Length: 35 min Completion date: 2010 Synopsis
Ref: 150
Brooks and brooklets that flow from a peculiar kind of enclosed natural pools called kluuvi and lakes into the sea, are typical for the eastern coast of Merenkurkku/Kvarken and its archipelago. Upstream the brooks filled with water from the melting snow, pike, perch and roach move to spawn in the freshwater of the kluuvi-pools and lakes. During the springtime when the sea still is ice-covered and the food supply especially in April is scarce, the open brook-mouths and the soon uncovered brook beds with freely and swiftly flowing water, offer both local sea eagles and the gulls and goosanders returning from their migration possibilities to catch fish. Also a crane-couple are early visitors at the fish-brooks fishers as they are in the archipelago. The abundance of fishes and the numerous greedily eating birds, entice both foxes and raccoon dogs to come to the brooks. At one of the brooks even a wolf has been observed. The migration of the fishes upstream to the freshwaters and back again into the sea, goes on from April to June. At the latest around Midsummer the brooks go dry and the gorge on fishes is finished.

Ref: 153
Spinning Toward Green is a documentary film that explores the impact that wind energy is having on
wildlife. Wind energy is a clean and renewable resource that may reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. Unfortunately, this new technology has some hidden negative impacts. Recent studies indicate that at some wind energy facilities in North America bats are being struck and killed by turbine blades. With the development of new wind energy facilities, bat mortality will continue to increase. Scientists are working together with the wind industry to address this problem. Spinning Toward Green explores the issue at wind energy facilities. Will scientists be able to solve this problem before bat populations are unable to recover?
