Super Nature: A Global Love Letter to Our Planet's Marvels
This film is a unique blend of art and advocacy, a celebration of nature's wonders, and a call to action. But here's the twist: it's not your typical documentary.
Super Nature, directed by Ed Sayers, takes a different approach. Instead of bombarding us with statistics and data, it immerses us in the visual and auditory splendor of nature. Think of it as a global home movie, capturing the intimate moments of natural landscapes across five continents.
"How do you make an environmentally conscious film about the natural world?" the BFI London Film Festival asks. The answer: by creating a community film, a mosaic of observations that feels deeply personal.
Sayers, known for his work in commercials and music videos, brings his unique perspective to this feature debut. His short film, Goldfish, even featured the talented Michael Fassbender.
The film is a collaborative effort, produced by A Seven Productions and Grasp the Nettle Films, with co-producers Forest of Black, and executive producer Asif Kapadia. It's a truly international endeavor, with contributors from 25 countries.
BFI Distribution has picked up the film for a theatrical release in the UK and Ireland, ensuring that this beautiful film gets the big-screen treatment it deserves.
In an interview with THR, Sayers and producer Rebecca Wolff discussed their vision. They wanted to focus on hope and connection, rather than fear and doom.
"Super Nature is about making people feel," Wolff explains. "It's a beautiful film, and we're thrilled to partner with BFI Distribution to bring it to as wide an audience as possible."
Sayers adds, "We want to remind people of their connection to nature. If our film inspires just a little more care and nurture for that relationship, we'll have done our part."
The reception at the LFF cinemas has been emotional and positive. Wolff describes the atmosphere as peaceful, with viewers feeling moved by the film's message.
"It's doing something special," Sayers says. "We wanted to go beyond conscious feelings and touch people deeply."
And that's exactly what Super Nature does. It finds a balance between facts and encouragement, celebrating nature and its protectors, without scaring viewers away.
"We wanted to talk about what we're fighting for, not against," Wolff explains. "It's about celebrating our connection to nature and each other."
With its ambitious global reach and positive message, Super Nature is a film that inspires and motivates. It's a reminder of the impact we can have, every day, on our world.
And this is the part most people miss: it's not just about the big picture. It's about the little things we can do to make a difference.
So, will you join the conversation and be a part of this global tapestry of nature lovers? The choice is yours, and every moment counts.
