Join us for ‘Otherworlds’ Film Screening Selection + Q&A as part of Wildscreen Festival’s Official Selection public screenings.
Travel with us as we uncover stories of nature worlds apart from those found on our UK doorsteps: Mother of the Forest ~ Curupira(12m), Ndossi (10m), and Walk Good Fire (47m). Three films offering illuminating insights into landscapes and traditions that broaden our understanding of our world.
Mother of the Forest ~ Curupira(12m): Lea Hejn
The Mother of the Forest ~ Curupira ~ is the story of a powerful Amazonian goddess told through the voices of the Borarí people from the heart of the forest in Pará, Brazil.
Ndossi (10m): Kristina Obame
"Ndossi" offers a captivating glimpse into the depths of the Gabonese rainforest, where ancient wisdom intertwines with the natural world. Through a compelling blend of folklore, personal testimony, music, and immersive sound, viewers are transported to a realm brimming with medicinal plants and enigmatic secrets.
Guided by the eyes of a young gorilla tracker, "Ndossi" unveils the timeless lessons passed down by the rainforest's animal inhabitants. As we journey alongside our protagonist, we discover the profound spiritual connection she shares with these majestic creatures, offering a unique perspective on the delicate balance of life in the jungle.
Yana Djamaga Ganji / Walk Good Fire (47m): Clancy Walker, Adam Nye
In late 2019, Australia's South Coast burned red, hot, and black. When the ash settled, First Nations voices were the first to emerge from the deafening silence. Yana Djamaga Ganji / Walk Good Fire is an Indigenous-led film that follows the Walbunja Rangers back out onto Yuin Country, as they work with cultural fire to heal both the coast and their people.
