Films from TeleNatura: Spain’s premiere festival for Wildlife, Natural History and Science Documentaries

Broken Tail’s Last Journey (Canada): A personal quest to discover the truth behind the disappearance of a captivating tiger, Broken Tail's Last Journey tracks the escape and subsequent wanderings of a male tiger, named Broken Tail, from Ranthambore National Park. One of the world's leading tiger cameramen, Colin Stafford-Johnson, leads us on a search for the truth about the fate of the late tiger, and his obsession carries us on a journey that exposes what is happening to the home of some of the world's favourite and most iconic animals. Designated wildlife corridors and wildlife refuges, although still marked on maps, have mostly disappeared, and Ranthambore National Park is now an isolated oasis in a vast sea of agricultural land. Why did this young tiger leave Ranthambore National Park, supposedly one of India's best protected tiger reserves? How could he possibly have survived in rural India for as long as he did? And what does his story tell us about the fate of the last wild tigers on Earth - an utterly shameful extinction that is happening on our watch?

Green (France): Winner of TeleNatura’s City of Pamplona Award for Best Film, Green has also won two other of the industry’s most prestigious awards: Golden Panda Award - WildScreen 2010; Grand Teton Award - Jackson Hole International Wildlife Film Festival 2009. Green is a female orangutan, victim of deforestation and resource exploitation. This film is an emotional journey with Green’s final days. With no narration, it is a visual ride presenting the devastating impacts of logging and land clearing for palm oil plantations, the choking haze created by rainforest fires and the tragic end of rainforest biodiversity.

Kamchatka: Land of Fire and Ice (Germany): Nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Cinemaphotography. The harsh extremes of this peninsula – frozen tundra ablaze with active volcanoes and scorching geysers – feels almost like another planet. Powerful animals like great brown bears, sea otters and giant sea eagles thrive in this forbidding landscape. This program, part of NDR’s six-part series on Russia, is one of the first full explorations of this little-known wonderland, now open again after a century closed off under Soviet rule.

Modern Day Eden: a Japanese Temple Garden (Japan): Japanese gardens are internationally famed for their beauty and core ideas. Recently they are noted for another function: an ecosystem for living nature. The garden at Honen-in Temple in Kyoto embraces many animals and plants living together in harmony, creating a mandala of life in a limited space.

Mount St. Helens: Life From Zero (Austria): A film that chronicles the ecological recovery at Mount St. Helens in the three decades since the 1980 eruption. Austrian filmmaker Jörg Daniel Hissen spent four years making the 52-minute film. He interviewed scientists in the field as they tracked plants and animals in the volcano's blast zone.

Orca Killing School (USA): A National Geographic production. Can the orcas of Peninsula Valdez perfect their dangerous killing technique? Throughout the oceans, orcas are supreme hunters, disposing of their prey with strength and cunning. However, even among these predators, one pod stands out for the daring lengths to which it will go for a meal. For years the orcas of Peninsula Valdez have run the remarkable risk of beaching themselves in order to catch sea lion pups, but now they are also targeting massive elephant seal pups. Can they perfect the dangerous technique, or have these killer whales taken on more than they can handle?

Patagonia: Life at the Limit (Germany): Spectacular cinemaphotography is used to document Argentina’s wild but beautiful province of Patagonia.

Poppy’s Promise (Germany): Winner of TeleNatura’s awards for Best Direction and Best Photography, it has also cleaned up 13 other international awards. 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.

The Mystery of the Giant Crystals (Spain): Nature and Science Documentary The Mystery of the Giant Crystals is a journey into the depths of the Earth in search of the most beautiful treasures of the mineral world, to explain one of its great mysteries: The Roman mines of Lapis Specularis, the geode of Pulpí, the mine of El Teniente (Chili) and the Cueva de los Cristales de Naica. The Mystery of the Giant Crystals is a fascinating adventure in scientific research; a search for the most beautiful treasures of the mineral world to explain one of its great mysteries: the formation of giant gypsum crystals. Winner of TeleNatura’s award for Best Scientific Content.

Film from Tales From Planet Earth: the USA’s leading environmental film festival

Restoring the Mauri of Lake Omapere (NZ): This documentary looks at efforts to restore the 'mauri' (life spirit) of Northland's Lake Omapere, a large fresh water lake - and taonga to the Ngāpuhi people - made toxic by pollution. It is a timely challenge to New Zealand's 100% Pure branding and an argument for kaitiakitanga (guardianship) that respects ecological and spiritual well-being. There is spectacular footage of endangered lake residents, the Long-Finned Eel. Barry Barclay in Onfilm called the film "powerful, sobering" and it screened at the 2008 National Geographic All Roads Film Festival as well as Tales From Planet Earth in Wisconsin, USA.

Films from NHNZ: Dunedin-based and the world’s second-largest producer of documentaries

Bite me with Dr Mike Leahy – Borneo: Dominated by mountains and lush rainforest, the hot and humid Sabah in the Malaysian region of Borneo is the perfect home for a staggering variety of killer creatures and deadly plant life. Adventure seeking virologist Dr Mike Leahy travels to Borneo where he learns the hard way that looks can be deceiving for the unsuspecting explorer. Whether trekking through the forest, climbing a mountain, exploring a 65 million year old cave system or cruising through the mangrove swamp, pretty much everything is out to get you in Borneo.

Equator – Reefs of Riches: The Indonesian archipelago in the Indo-Pacific Ocean comprises thousands of islands, atolls and the largest concentration of coral reefs in the world. This rich and varied environment is a product of a unique set of natural circumstances. The equatorial sun powers ocean currents among the tiny dots of land. Where the archipelago meets the western tip of New Guinea an intersection of ocean currents creates perhaps the world’s richest reefs…reefs which house a myriad of colours, shapes and patterns.

Killer Dragons: The Komodo dragon is the world’s biggest lizard and a known man-eater. Highly attuned senses, a lightning-fast attack and a mouth with 60 razor-sharp teeth make it one of the world’s most feared predators. Just one bite infects its victim with a deadly infection that kills in days. For years it was thought toxic bacteria in the dragon’s saliva was to blame. In ‘Killer Dragons’ we reveal – for the first time – that Komodo dragons are also a venomous lizard. The program also investigates the dragon’s sensory world and its lifecycle - including the amazing adaptation of 'virgin birth'.

Orangutan Island: This film follows Lone Droscher-Nielsen as she and her team race against time to save and protect the orangutans. Lone is the project pioneer and founder of Nyaru Menteng Rescue and Rehabilitation Center in Borneo, which is home to nearly 700 orphaned orangutans and is the largest primate rescue project in the world. Follow Lone as she and her team fight to bring these orphans back to the centre to rehabilitate them and teach them survival skills, with the hope that one day they too can return to their natural habitat.

Secrets of the Ghost Army: New technology makes startling discoveries in one of the world’s most ancient mysteries – China’s army of Terracotta Warriors, destined to be seen by no-one but the spirit of China’s first Emperor. Nothing like China’s Terracotta Warriors was ever created before them and nothing like it has been created since. For years experts have attempted to resolve an enduring enigma about one of archaeology’s greatest discoveries, and now, with the help of 21st century technology, the once mighty army with its life size warriors will rise from the dust of two millennia.

Strike Force: Venom Quest: Two scientists are on a mission – to collect venom from the ocean’s deadliest creatures, so lives can be saved through making anti-venoms. They seek out sea snakes with venom twice as deadly as that of a king cobra, stone fish with the power to paralyze and the planet’s most lethal marine animal – the box jellyfish. Marine Biologist Jamie Seymour is a venom expert. His colleague, Richard Fitzpatrick, a shark researcher and Emmy nominated wildlife cameraman. Together Richard and Jamie are Strike Force. They will leave nothing untried to accomplish what they set out to do.
