Speakers
This panel discussion brings together two wildlife filmmakers to look at how stories of the wild reach the screen, from choosing a landscape and finding compelling protagonists to filming their lives and shaping them into a narrative. What does it take to give a voice to the wild?
The panellists will draw on first-hand experience, including the challenges of fieldwork, and consider what it takes to build a career in this field. Requiring patience, perseverance, and a deep understanding of the natural world, wildlife filmmaking is both science and art.
