Cornwall Wildlife Trust is thrilled to host the UK premiere of celebrated filmmaker Ian McCarthy’s award-winning new film: ‘Wild Cornwall – Out on the Edge’.
Join us tonight from 7.00pm for a complimentary glass of wine in the bar, before the film begins at 7.45pm.
The film follows the turning year in Cornwall – ‘one of the
most beautiful and dramatic places in Europe’ – winning a prestigious Silver
Dolphin Award at Cannes. It showcases Cornwall’s ‘wild hear’ – the dramatic
lives of many of our much loved species including breeding seabirds and
peregrine falcons on the cliffs, dolphins, seals and basking sharks in the
ocean, and bats and otters hunting in the streams that flow from moor to sea.
Ian McCarthy is an EMMY and BAFTA award-winning wildlife
photographer and filmmaker with a reputation as one of the UK’s finest
filmmakers, documenting nature all over the world. He has been behind the lens
of some of David Attenborough’s biggest landmark nature series and this
personal account shows Cornwall’s wildlife as never seen before. Ove the last
35 years Ian has travelled to some of the wildest corners of the world filming
wildlife for the BBC Natural History Unit. But his home is Cornwall and he has
brought a lifetime’s experience to making a film about the place he knows and
loves.
“Cornwall with its long and rugged coast, high rocky cliffs,
surf-battered beaches, sheltered inlets and tree lined estuaries has a unique
wild beauty. This is a film about the wildlife which lives out on the edge
where land, sea and sky meet.”
