Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's 'Super Nature'! This captivating documentary is not just a scientific exploration or a travelogue, but a global love letter to the natural world. It's a cinematic masterpiece that might remind you of your old family home movies, if you're old enough to remember them. But here's where it gets controversial...

But this isn't just a pretty picture; it's a call to action. The film aims to inspire and encourage, rather than scare. It's about finding connection and celebrating the people who are already deeply connected to nature. The producers, including Rebecca Wolff and Asif Kapadia, have built a community around the film, with collaborators from 40 Super 8 cameras in 25 countries across five continents. The film's reception at the LFF has been overwhelmingly positive, with people feeling emotional in a positive way. So, is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's 'Super Nature' - a film that will leave you feeling inspired and ready to take action. But will it make a difference? That's up to you. And that's the part most people miss...
