WOW FILM FESTIVAL: The Velvet Queen (12A)

(Marie Amiguet, Vincent Munier, France 2021, 92mins, subtitles)

Set in a landscape like no other, this is a truly memorable film about our relationship with the natural world that with its sudden glimpses of the sublime really should be seen on the big screen. An amazing, meditative journey into one of the last truly wild sanctuaries, rich in unforgettable scenery and full of fantastic encounters with Tibetan antelopes, birds, foxes, wolves, bears, all the while in pursuit of the elusive snow leopard. Don’t miss your chance to be transported to the awesome mountains of Tibet in the company of Vincent Munier, one of the world’s great wildlife photographers.

“simply mesmerizing” Slant magazine
