Three award-winning short films from the 2016 International Wildlife Film Festival.

Red Wolf Revival
A film by Rosham Patel

Centered on the historic recovery effort in Eastern North Carolina, the story unveils the multifaceted struggle to reintroduce one of the rarest animals on earth in the face of cultural, economic and biological challenges in North Carolina.
Run time: 24 min.

Gardeners of the Forest
A film by Ceylan Carhoglu & Nicole Jordan Webber
For generations, Laos was known as the Land of a Million Elephants but, as of 2016, there are fewer than 600 elephants left in the wild. This is their story.
Run time: 15 min.

Medieval Monsters
A film by Oliver Mueller
The New Forest of England has remained unchanged for centuries and while many of the country's ancient beasts have long since vanished. Here the creatures of old can still be found. This film captures their lives using macro, slow-motion and time-lapse techniques to reveal behaviors beyond the capabilities of the human eye. Dueling dragonflies, acid-firing ants and jousting stag beetles take center stage in this world of medieval monsters.
Run time: 10 min.
