The Voice of the Aegean
Country: Greece Language:English Length: 61 min Completion date: 2004 Synopsis: The Aegean we knew and loved, with its pristine beaches, barren landscapes and traditional villages perched on hilltops, is fast disappearing. The rapid, anarchic building of recent years has trampled on the natural environment and is changing its distinctive character. Through the use of archival material, this film traces the historical and social roots of today's developments in the Aegean, including recent wars, emigration and the rise of the shipping industry. The views of archaeologists and planners are interwoven with the debate among the islanders themselves. Emphasizing the importance of nature in our lives and the value of the Aegean's primeval beauty, the film also suggests creative ideas to achieve a more sustainable prosperity.

Snakes in Paradise
Country: Italy/Germany Language: German (English subtitles) Length: 27,30 min Completion date: February 2005 Synopsis: There is a strange kind of silence in the forests of Guam. Of the twelve native species of bird which once populated the forests of the southernmost Mariana Island, only three remain. As for most of the endemic reptiles, they are now rarely to be found. The Brown Tree Snake "boiga irregularis" is responsible. This pretty, moderately poisonous snake was inadvertently transported onto this Pacific island fifty years ago by American troops, hidden between military material, from its homeland Papua New Guinea. From a snakes point of view Guam was at that time a paradise: flightless birds, free from other food competitors, no natural enemies and animals for the taking in abundance that didnt even recognise a snake as a mortal enemy.Although the Brown Tree Snake spread unhindered and quite quickly over the entire island and American military personnel by the mid-fifties had became aware of its presence, the real extent of the problem was only recognised forty years later. By then it was too late to prevent an ecological disaster...

As Time Goes Sea
Country: Italy/Germany Language: German (English subtitles) Length: 27,30 min Completion date: December 2003 Synopsis: The Llanrhidian Marsh is one of the largest areas of saltmarsh in the world. It is a natural habitat, both sea and land at the same time, shaped by the constant change of tides, and is protected as a world natural heritage site by UNESCO as well as being a designated site of special scientific interest. Only a few animals selected by man and nature have been able to adapt to these rough conditions. Over the centuries they have taken on special characteristics necessary for survival and have passed them on to their descendants. More than 250 horses and several thousand sheep still live freely here, on the Gower peninsular, in west Wales. In the autumn the "cocklers" of Pen Clawdd arrive to collect the desired shells of the area. This work has helped to support them since the collapse of the coal industry.

A Preditors Paradise
Country: Finland Language:English Length: 43 min Completion date: March 2006 Synopsis: Finnish cameraman Kari Kemppainen has been filming large predators in Eastern Finland
for some fifteen years. Bears, wolves, wolverine and lynx have long been persecuted here, but all have made a major comeback in recent years as Kari has tirelessly documented. His remarkable wild footage of bears fighting and mating, of wolverine family life and of the return of wolves to Finland from Russia has shed much new light on these powerful but shy creatures. Predators' Paradise follows Kari at work as he spends up to 200 days a year in the Kuhmo wilderness, sleeping overnight in his filming hides to capture twilight activities of predators and the reindeer and elk they hunt. The resurgence of large carnivores in Finland, especially wolves, has created tensions with hunters and with people living in remote forests, but there are signs that predators are increasingly being accepted today after centuries of distrust.

Benjam and The Bathunters
Country: Finland Language:English Length: 50 min Completion date: February2006 Synopsis: Finnish wildlife photographer Benjam Pontinen discovers the hidden world of bats with the
help of experts across Finland and Estonia. These enthusiastic, but sometimes eccentric "bat-hunters" allow Benjam to see Europe's these shadowy night fliers in a new, more positive light. Benjam's quirky bat quest takes him to vast underground mines, ancient castles and decaying mansion houses. Filming bats proves challenging, uncomfortable, but ultimately truly revelatory. Benjam discovers that bats still use tree-holes in summer, but since many of Europe's old forests have been felled, they've also learnt to share people's homes. Many are unaware that bats live so close to them!. Those who get to know bats better, soon realise they are nothing like the scary creatures of legend and should be cherished, not cringed at!

Panda Rei (Everything Flows)
Country: Bosnia-Herzegovina Language: Slavic (English subtitles) Length: 20 min Completion date: 2005 Synopsis: The documentary movie PANTA REI (old Greek proverb from Heraclitus "Everything flows") is about birth and death of seasons in the eyes of the children. Ibrahim and Amra Hrustic are playing carelessly in their settlement in different seasons. They are picking the flowers, looking their dearest trees, going on the same path. While they are looking at coming of the spring, summer, autumn and winter, they are admiring to them. But, when the season underwent, they feel sadness. The honeybees and butterflies are flying in front of their eyes, the grass is being mowed, the jam is being made, and last leaflet is falling from the bough. When the winter comes they are playing on the snow and making the snowman. But suddenly they realize that their favourite tree is being cut, the snowman is being dissolved; that imagination is far away from the reality and new spring is being hinted. There is no speech in film so greater illusion would be created utilising picture and sounds.

Fire Salamander
Country: Serbia Language: English Length: 16 min Completion date: 2005 Synopsis: Salamanders are on of the oldest groups of existing terrestrial vertebrates. Salamanders are amphibians, related to frogs and toads. Because of their secretive nature and nocturnal lifestyle, salamanders are one of the least studied groups of animals. They love dark, wet places, often in deep woods, which is one reason why salamanders are the subjects of numerous myths and legends. Traditional folklore held that salamanders could survive in fire.

Beyond Fear-Communicating with great white Sharks
Country: Germany Language: English Length: 52min Completion date: February 2004 Synopsis: There has been a long term misunderstanding between mankind and sharks. This misunderstanding has lead to unscrupulous hostility and unbridled fear. For most people it is unthinkable that this insensitive killing machine can have a different facet and that under certain circumstances it is really possible to swim in harmony with this apex predator, if you understand its body language. Beyond Fear wants to lobby for a better image for sharks to show that, especially the great white sharks, are top predators which have a very important role in the ecological balance of our oceans and that are unfortunately endangered.

Appalachia-The Endless Forest
Country: Austria Language:English Length: 52min Completion date: 2005 Synopsis: Some of the richest forests in the world cover the ridges and valleys of the southern Appalachians. This film explores the hidden worlds of these remote valleys, and uncovers a wealth of nature, from bears and salamanders to vultures and flying squirrels. But human culture here is as rich as the natural history. These mountains were the heartland of the Cherokee Nation, and the film producers worked with Cherokee living there today to re-create their view of the forest world. Later, settlers from Germany, Scotland and Ireland in particular helped create the distinctive culture of modern Appalachia, and to evoke all these elements the film is set to a unique score, especially composed, which combines traditional music from all these cultures.

The primeval forests support a fauna like something out of a fairy tale, with elephants, tigers, leopards, and some of the rarest animal species on the planet. Species never seen by humans are discovered at regular intervals. In recent decades, the few large mammals to be described for the first time were all found in Indochina and experts assume that most of them are at home in Laos: wild oxen such als the saola and kuprey or the truong son munjak. No outsider have ever seen a living specimen of the latter; its existence is only known indirectly, through skeletons, horns and bagged game that are occasionally found in remote villages.

Nowhere else in the Alps are rock, forest and river arranged in such a steep vertical alignment. The sound of the thundering water against the naked rock gives the area its name, the roar of the mountains echoing around the imposing peaks. Generations of mountaineers have tried to conquer these mountains, often paying with their lives, but they werent the first. One hundred and fifty years ago, the monks of the Benedictine monastery of Admont reached the summits. They were exploring, studying and cataloguing the flora and fauna of the region, and fearless as they set out on their expeditions scientists in habits and hobnailed boots.

From its beginnings in the dark corners of the ocean to its transition into the river, Longfin follows the eels journey, the dangers it faces and its eventual migration back into the ocean.Viewed as an ancestral figure by the native people of New Zealand, the eel has evolved from a sustainable food source for this native community, to a pest, and in recent times, to a valuable commodity in a million-dollar exporting industry. Now, the future of the longfin eel is uncertain as the rivers are blocked by dams, commercial fishing pressures rise and progress takes precedence over conservation.

Finland is a true mire land because one-third of our landscape, almost 10 million hectares, is some kind of bog, fen, mire, or peatland.

With this film we would like to show the developmental process of the mire and we hope that it helps people to understand the history, structure and "soul" of the mires.
