Synopsis:
We all know him, we all love him: Baloo, Mowglis constant companion in the
Jungle Book. Rudyard Kiplings novel and Walt Disneys animated movie made
this clumsy character world famous. Baloo was modeled after the Indian Sloth
Bear, a shy and mostly nocturnal animal. Surprisingly little is known about these
secretive species, and it has never been portrayed before in a natural history flm.
Having spent more than 200 shooting days in the feld over a period of three
years, Oliver Goetzl and Ivo Nrenberg were not only lucky enough to flm these
elusive creatures during the daytime, but they also witnessed behavior that had
been previously unknown to science. The flm is the very frst Natural History
production about Indias most elusive predator and its narrated by Sir David
Attenborough.

The Sea Turtles of Lamu
Country: Kenya
Language: English
Length: 63 min
Synopsis:
In 1992, the sea turtles of Lamu were beyond endangered...they were
approaching extinction. Poaching in Africa isnt just elephant tusks and rhino
horns, it also includes sea turtles. This is the story of LAMCOT & Odo, a
conservancy trust and a former poacher, who have single-handedly saved sea
turtles on the remote Manda Island off the coast of Kenya in the Lamu
archipelago. They are helping the turtles overcome the odds of 1 in a 1000 to
survive. But the new sea port may be their downfall.

Language: English
Length: 26 min
Synopsis:
The (marine) ecosystems of the Cape Verde Islands, an archipelago of 10
islands located in the central Atlantic Ocean, 570 kilometers off the coast of
Western Africa, carry a high bio diversity. Darwin visited the Cape Verde Islands
in 1832. He didnt dive. Otherwise the stunning marine diversity of these islands
would have triggered his theory of evolution. The archipelago of Cape Verde is
improving its positioning as a tourist destination. According to the latest offcial
statistics, tourist arrivals continue growing at a rate of 22 percent and it is
projected that Cape Verde will reach the benchmark of 1 million tourists annually
by 2015. Continuing dynamic development of the tourism sector raises questions
about sustainability and the effects on the unique (underwater)nature.

The vegetation of the the Klein Karoo region of South Africa is unique, with
around 4 500 species of plants that are found nowhere else on earth, occurring

Biosphere Reserve was established with the aim of protecting these hotspots
from further damage. Hopefully, in so doing, it will also protect and restore the
water catchments of the area and thereby, improve the water availability in this
water-stressed area.

The Olive Tree and Olive Oil of Cyprus
Country: Cyprus
Language: English
Length: 52 min
Synopsis:
The documentary The Olive-Tree and Olive-Oil of Cyprus completes a wine-bread-oil trilogy
begun in 2001 with the production of the The roots of the Cyprus Wine documentary and
which continued in 2006 with the documentary Cypriot Bread . The geographer Strabo gave
Cyprus the appellation evelaios or of good oil, with the much-in-demand Cypriot olive-oil
also being described by Synesius as light and eupeptic. The long road from the cultivation
of the olive-tree to the production of olive-oil, whether light or dark, is also the course followed
by this flm. As in the two previous flms, this one also makes use of what are possibly the last
opportunities to immortalize scenes encompassing some of the protagonists of Cyprus rural life.
The flm also makes reference to olive-oil production methods during antiquity, as well as to the
relationship between both the olive-tree and olive-oil with the Orthodox Christian faith.

Synopsis:
The bread of Cyprus, according to an 18th century traveler, was not only an exceptional quality,
but also the best to be found in the entire Levant. Fot the inhabitants of the island however,
it was something even more important: it was a daily staple, neccesary for survival.The long
road leading from wheat to bread is also the path followed by this flm, which reaps the
last opportunities for immortalizing scens leaturing individuals from the Cypriot countryside
who for years were individuals cereal-crop cultivation. In the flm, bread is presented in all its
manifestations, from the daily staple, always present on the table, to the sanctifed artos used
in holy communication, as well as the traditional breads associated with the major religious
feasts. In addition, the signifcance of bread in the customs of the Cypriot people illustrates the
ethological aspect - and value - of this almost universal staple.

Country: Cyprus

Synopsis:
Lefkara Lace , is the most characteristic kind of Cypriot embroidery, with its
reputation having transcended the narrow geographical confnes of our island.
Through intense research and flming the documentary portrays the art of the
Lefkara laces through the testimony and experiences of some of the most
remarkable living embroiders of there kind. The documentary also portrays
through photographs, reports in the Cypriot press, and interviews with some
of the last living embroidery merchants an era in which the Lefkara embroidery
traveled across the length and breadth of the world. The inclusion of Lefkara
Lace in UNESCOs Intangible Cultural Heritage List acts as confrmation of its
value, but also as a challenge to keep it alive through adapting it to the givens
of modern times.

Nature holds many surprises in a moor: It seems as if some of the most bizarre

animals live here and mushrooms that suck the live out of plants. The rutting
dance of the Great snipes and the hatching of a great crane chick are just a few
of the miracles happening in a moor every season. Today- the European Union
is runner-up world champion in setting free hazardous greenhouse gases
through the destruction of moors and bogs. The flm shows the biodiversity of the
often rarely recognized habitat - and it is a quiet appeal: SAVE and PRESERVE
the last intact MOORS!

The little-known dramas and private lives of both familiar and unusual garden visitors revealed
in glossy colour and intimate detail. Our love for gardens has created a unique habitat with
thousands of ornamental fowers. Hundreds of years of cultivation have turned small and
simple fowers into glorious blossoms. But there is more to the garden than meets the eye. It
also provides an invaluable refuge for wildlife in a changing landscape. Today, exotic plants live
alongside native animals; an eclectic mix created by generations of gardeners. The buddleia
or butterfy bush acts as a magnet for our native butterfies, and the popular tomato plant is a
favourite with the hawkmoth caterpillar. As summer turns to autumn, small grass snakes hatch
within the compost and edible dormice look for apples stored in our garden sheds. Stunning
high defnition footage and time-lapse photography reveals the vibrant colours of autumn and
winter. This is a journey into an unknown and exotic wilderness that is our own back garden.

The Congo: the second largest river on Earth! It rises as a brook in the north of
Zambia, which provides a stage for one of the worlds largest migrations of
mammals. On its journey into the west, the river constantly increases in both size
and power, just like its inhabitants, for example the mysterious shoebill, one of
the largest birds on Earth. In order to survive, these animals have had to adapt to
the rivers extreme conditions, which has enabled evolution to create some truly
unique creatures: fsh with lungs, wings and fsh that are able to hunt on land.

- The Inland Delta of the River Danube
Country: Hungary, Slovakia, Germany
Language: English
Length: 52 min
Synopsis:
Flowing out of the Alps and Carpathians the Danube River created this land
delta unique in Europe. Arriving at the plain the river broke into wide branches
where unparalleled fauna developed. These days the river cannot change its
course as freely as it used to in the old days. The decisive change came about
some twenty years ago with the diversion of the river and the building of the
hydroelectric plant of Gabcikovo. Seeing the grip of the built in surroundings the
question is obvious: can the fauna preserve its former abundance?

The original Peruvian tomatl - swollen fruit- was yellow and the Conquistadores

forbidden fruit in the worlds frst seduction! Todays obsession with shape, size
and long shelf-life has reduced the once glorious tomato to mushy tastelessness.
But the counter-revolution has started! From tomato seedster Erich Stekovics
with his 3,200 varieties stored in nylon stockings, to tomato tsarina Irina
Zacharias, saved by the red fruit after the fall of Communism. From the pizza
that boosted Queen Margaritas sex life to Chinese Tomato King Li Jingfus 32
new strains, cross-bred to feed his fellow countrymen - and Joe Cocker, who
serenades the crimson fruit and knows its Blues they like best.

Schladming Magic Mountains
- Land of the Chamois
Country: Austria
Language: English
Length: 50 min
Synopsis:
Schladming in Austria is not the best known of the countrys ski regions but its one of the fnest -
because it keeps a low profle and makes sure the season doesnt dominate the landscape.
That also means its nature is better protected than in normal mixed regions. Sheer rock walls
and deep ravines crying out to be climbed, cycling trails in the forest and some of the swiftest
and blackest ski runs; peaks and pines eye their ref ections in shimmering lakes, bordered by
moss, lichen and fower-studded slopes. These are Schladmings Magic Mountains. Beside the
slopes this landscape is full of wild animals. Red deer, black-grouse and pygmy owls inhabit
the woods and alpine meadows. Winter is merciless cold in these mountains, but there is one
animal which is perfectly adapted to this habitat: the chamois. Though this region is controlled
by men, it is a hot spot for wild animals - and sometimes even the wolves come back to this
territory, which once belonged to them.

- Mountains at Heavens Door
Country: Austria
Language: English
Length: 50 min
Synopsis:
You might think you were in Ireland, you might sense the vastness of Castile in
Spain, but youd never believe this was the heart of the Austrian Alps: The Nock
Mountains are - geologically - Austrias oldest landscape. For a hundred million
years, the land around them has risen and fallen, while the mountains themselves
hardly moved. And for the past thousand years, the same has been true of the
harmonious co-existence of wild nature and rural culture. Wreathed in gentle
clouds circling the smooth green mountain tops, there is a serenity to this
region that makes it easy to believe youre not far from heavens door.

Owls Odyssey
Country: Austria
Language: English
Length: 50 min
Synopsis:
When a female barn-owls home - an old disused barn - is demolished, she has to seek a new
place to live. On the way, fying through forests and across grasslands, she encounters most of
the common owl species in Central Europe: long - and short-eared owls, little, tawny and eagle
owls, some she can live peacefully beside, others she must shun or risk becoming their prey.
During her journey, the flm shows how owls fy so silently and hunt so effciently; it illustrates
what they have meant to humans since ancient times, and how they live beside us today. It
explains why they have become - unfairly - associated with death. Our owl fnally fnds a new
home, as the guest of a barn owl family, in time to see the new clutch of young following their
mother on their frst majestic fight.

Hunting Buddies
- How Dogs Discovered Man
Country: Austria
Language: English
Length: 50 min
Synopsis:
No animal refects human social changes as much as the dog. For millennia,
dogs have served as mankinds hunting buddies, vital companions in our struggle
for survival. But todays increasingly civilized world forces modern dogs to
abandon their frst instincts, serving as replacement children or partners for
alienated urbanites, diagnosing cancer, or sniffng for drugs. We have forgotten
what it actually means to be a dog, a hunter. Hunting Buddies looks back at
this part of our cultural history, and asks what we have given up and gained as
our relationship with dogs has changed. Starring fve different hunting dogs, we
follow them in real life situations seen from the dogs perspective. Each episode
is associated with a specifc period in hunting history, when each dog breed was
supremely adapted to the tasks and skills required.

Planet Sparrow
Country: Austria
Language: English
Length: 50 min
Synopsis:
Ben is a sparrow in the Soukh in Cairo. Bushy and tousled, he fits between crowded stalls to
build his nest and attract a mate. Hes one of fve heroes of Planet Sparrow. Their adventures
cover the world, travelling westward with the sun from Cairo to Vienna, Paris, New York, Beijing
and Moscow. Small and grey-brown, sparrows may seem dull, but this frst impression is
deceptive. They sing as prettily as canaries and can imitate other birds - even machines!
Theyre extremely clever, dunking dry bread and rice in water to eat, and learning to open milk
cans by watching other birds. Their insect-hunting skills are breathtaking. The camera pursues
these artists of fight through narrow alleys, revealing their spectacular aerial manoeuvres.
In Paris centuries of living with humans has taught them to form teams that steal and share
the food of restaurant diners. In New York, orphaned sparrow chicks are adopted by new
sparrow parents. The birds play Russian Roulette in Moscow, fying beneath the cars on the
busiest roads to save winter energy.

Secrets of Bumblebees
Country: Austria
Language: English
Length: 50 min
Synopsis:
They are chubbier, fuzzier and more leisurely than their sisters, the bees
They are a lot less aggressive and awe-inspiring than their cousins the wasps. When early
spring brings out the frst bumblebees, they bring a smile to our faces. If the Insect World were
a stage, they would be the bumbling comedians! Lets not be taken in, though. They might
not look as industrious as the proverbial busy bee, but they are no less effcient pollinators
and nectar gatherers - in fact, with honey-bee populations worldwide disastrously depleted by
Varroa mites, viruses and pesticides, hopes have started to bud that bumblebees might take
their place as pollinators for crop plants. Compared to honey bees, these social insects have
long been poorly researched, although theyre at home in temperate regions throughout the
Northern Hemisphere and South America. A few tropical species form colonies lasting several
years, but elsewhere only the summers new Queens survive into next spring. So the colonies
remain small - around 80 individuals rather than tens of thousands - and there is no need to
store nectar for hibernation - a fact that has kept honey-loving gourmets like us away from their -
often underground - nests. This documentary however endeavours to sneak in - not to raid their
supplies, but to take a closer look. Macro and high speed cinematography allow us to witness
their behaviour (they are not too heavy to fy), understand their biology (they do sting, and fur
and antifreeze keep them active in the cold), experience their unique abilities and leave us in
awe of these droll little harbingers of spring.

The Empress and the Forest
Country: Austria
Language: English
Length: 50 min
Synopsis:
A palace in a private woodland park near the city of Vienna; 25 square
miles of lonely beauty
designed for a tragic empress. The Lainzer Park was a gift from the Emperor to his wife
Elisabeth, Empress of Austria, more than a century ago. It was to be her sanctuary from the
suffocating protocol of court. Today, visitors are restricted to the offcial paths of a walled
wonderland that is both completely wild and fully protected, a landscape untouched by the age
of industry. In the midst of the forest is a garden whose four-hundred-year old oaks have trunks
with diameters greater than four metres. The crowns of the trees are host to more than 1,000
insect species, including a hundred different kinds of butterfy. In the spirit of Thomas Rilks last
flm Wasteland Warriors, set in Viennas building sites and scrublands, this hidden ecosystem
reveals a macro world of astonishing variety, beauty and colour in the trees and on the ground,
and follows the free-roaming deer and wild hogs that live so close to the busy centre of Austrias
capital city.

The Bee Effect
Country: Sweden
Language: English

Synopsis:
For millions of years insects have been pollinating plants, in exchange for
nectar and pollen. This collaboration is a cornerstone in our existence and
accounts for one third of all that we eat. In recent years there has been a
dramatic reduction of pollinators, mainly due to diseases and changes in
the agricultural landscape. If this trend continues a large part of our food
production is under threat. This flm is a wake-up call about a slow,
environmental disaster happening right in front of our eyes. We get to meet
scientists, farmers and beekeepers from all over the world.

Killer Whales - Fins of Change
Country: Austria
Language: English
Length: 53 min
Synopsis:
This flm reveals the current change in the Arctic: the northern polar region is
the fastest warming area on our planet. The sea ice is receding ever further
during the Arctic summer. This has dramatic consequences: on one hand, the
polar bear looses vital habitat - because this previous top predator is used to
hunt for seals on the ice. On the other hand, the Arctic ocean is increasingly
opening up in summer, thus getting more and more accessible for orcas.
Therefore, the so-called killer whales are taking over the role as the new
top predators of the Arctic - while the polar bears are struggling to survive.

Kask - Pj Bladhs Stad
Country: Finland
Language: Swedish
Length: 16 min
Synopsis:
Kask, Finlands smallest city, has an interesting history, because it was founded
by Peter Johan Bladh, who in the second half of the 1700s advanced as the
super cargo of the Swedish East India Company. His father a merchant from
Vaasa named Johan Bladh had applied for a city status for the community on the
island, but died two years before Kask became a city in 1785. His son, Peter
Johan returned to Kask after his fathers death and the city got staple rights and
developed a port. Today in Kask live 1300 inhabitants and the city has a
well-preserved old wooden houses in a very cozy environment. At the Swedish
speaking elementary school which operates under the same roof with the Finnish
speaking, ten students from the 6th class worked together to write the script for
a flm about PJ Bladh since the fall of 2012. The initiative was taken by the
Wildlife Vaasa flm festivals media education project which has previously
implemented several movies collaborating with a number of schools in
Ostrobothnia.

VIPERA LIFE - a serpents tale
Country: Hungary

The viper. The word alone flls most people with dread. It calls to mind some
kind of huge, writhing monster, lying in wait to bite. The Hungarian meadow
viper (Vipera ursinii rakosiensis) however, is not large and doesnt attack. Its
venom is deadly only to grasshoppers and crickets. It almost disappeared
because its habitats were plowed under and drained. Its not easy being

is where our storys protagonist, 2K366/08, entered the world. This is her story.

Can Gentle Survive?
Country: USA

Synopsis:
Manatees, often called Sea Cows, are one of the gentlest and most docile
creatures in all of nature. They have been at the center of a long-running feud in
Florida waters between recreational boaters who strike and kill dozens of
manatees every year, and those who wish to save these animals. Noise pollution,
the draining of their native rivers, hydroelectric power plants, and a multitude of
other human activities all contribute to the potential demise of these extraordinary
creatures.

O Christmas Tree
Country: Germany
Language: English
Length: 51 min
Synopsis:
The Christmas tree is a piece of merchandise, which is in great demand. Across
Europe approximately 70 million Christmas trees are sold every year. Many of
them come from Denmark, where mainly Caucasian frs are cultivated. Their
seeds grow in the area surrounding the small provincial town of Ambrolauri in
Georgia. Even today, the cones of the Caucasian frs have to be collected in a
very adventurous manner. Courageous workers climb to the top of the trees
where the cones can be found. This job is both strenuous as well as highly
dangerous, as the individual trees grow to heights of between 30 and 60 metres.
Yet, hardly anyone uses a safety harness or a helmet, as they are too expensive.
Even though terrible accidents are a regular occurrence, the people have no
other choice as they are fully dependent on this work

Urine Superpowers
Country: France
Language: English
Length: 52 min
Synopsis:
Many of us are oblivious to the fact that our frst months of life were actually
spent swimming in urine. Indeed, the amniotic sac is made up of 80% urine,
from the fetus and on average, the fetus releases two glasses of pee per day.
During our lives, each of us will have produced 38.000 liters of urine, the
equivalent of a large tanker truck. Despite the importance of this matter, urine
remains taboo. Today, we will go beyond this prohibition, release the cork, and
take a wee look a tour pee that is more valuable than once thought: in medicine
for healing, technology as a source of energy, raw material, and industrial
fertilizers. The opportunities of our noble liquid are now the object of many
patents. Despite the gradual success of urine, flming it could still create
somewhat of a scandal! To satisfy our interests without disgust, whenever
possible we will be using thermal imaging, microscopic and high-speed cameras.
This is the story of: URINE SUPERPOWERS.
