About the Films

NATURE Rx

Written and Directed by Justin Bogardus. Running time: 2 minutes.

Feeling tired, irritable or stressed out? Try nature. This harmless prescription has been shown to relieve the crippling symptoms of modern life — indifference, cynicism, narcissism, even murderous rage — and is healthy for people of all ages and even pets. Side effects may include authenticity, confidence, spontaneous euphoria or being in a good mood for no apparent reason.

JAGO: A LIFE UNDERWATER

Written, Directed, and Produced by James Reed. Running time: 48 minutes.

Among the Bajau people of Indonesia, Rohani is known as jago, or master. The 80-year-old diver from the Togean Islands of Sulawesi has spent a lifetime at sea, plunging into the darkest corners of the ocean—often as deep as 20 fathoms (120 feet) below the surface. Like generations of Bajau before him, Rohani hunts underwater with a hand-built harpoon gun, maintaining a way of life that has persevered among his people for thousands of years. His spectacular story, told in his own words, explores the incredible limits of the human body and the endurance of the human spirit.

In the narrative tradition of his ancestors, Rohani recounts his exhilarating tale, accompanied by breathtaking underwater cinematography and some of the most stunning footage of Bajau life ever captured on film. With the help of family and friends in the village where Rohani grew up, Jago: A Life Underwater recreates his memories from the island and its surrounding waters, delivering a rare and intimate glimpse into the culture of the Bajau.

Jago: A Life Underwater was the recipient of the 2015 Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival Grand Teton Award, the Special Jury Award at the 2016 New York Wild Film Festival, as well as five nominations for the prestigious 2016 Panda Awards at the Wildscreen Festival in Bristol.

SIROCCO - HOW A DUD BECAME A STUD

Written, Directed, and Produced by Ashwika Kapur. Running time: 16 minutes.

There are only 125 Kakapo Parrots left on planet Earth today. So few, that all of them have been individually named. And one name is world famous – Sirocco. A parrot so popular, that the government of New Zealand gave him a job. Sirocco – How a Dud Became a Stud, is the delightful rags-to-riches story of a bird that shot to super-stardom.

RED WOLF REVIVAL

Written, Directed, and Produced by Roshan Patel. Running time: 24 minutes.

Red Wolf Revival (2015) is a short film about the last remaining wild population of red wolves. Centered on the historic recovery effort in Eastern North Carolina, we document the multifaceted struggle to reintroduce one of the rarest animals on earth in the face of cultural, economic, and biological challenges in North Carolina.

DAVID ATTENBOROUGH'S LIGHT ON EARTH

Written and Directed by Martin Dohrn, Joe Loncraine and Paul Reddish. Running time: 51 minutes.

The spectacular and magical light produced by glowworms, fireflies and luminous plankton is known as bioluminescence - light made by living creatures. But those quite familiar glows and flashes are just a tiny, easily observed fragment of a previously unexplored, mysterious realm.

Sir David Attenborough will be our guide, as we venture into a world he describes as "utterly unlike our own". He and a team of the world’s leading scientists take us on a quest into the fascinating realm of living light.
