An adventurous ski tour of two sisters, who follow the tracks of their father, across the pristine landscapes of New Zealand. 30 years ago, Gottlieb Braun-Elwert set out on an incredible expedition. He traversed the major glaciers of the Southern Alps, covering 40km and 4000 vertical meters, from the heart of the South Island to the West Coast in just 18 hours. A route of astonishing beauty, immense freedom, breathtaking vistas and dealing with the challenges of an untamed wilderness. He called this route “Symphony on Skis”. Now, his daughters Carla, Elke and a small team of adventurers embark on the same journey. This film is a homage to their late father who found a love and home in New Zealand's Southern Alps. * die deutsche Version findest du hier: https://vimeo.com/ondemand/symphonyonskisdeutsch 15th international Filmfestival Tegernsee: Audience Award www.facebook.com/symphonyonskis

Eastern black rhinos are critically endangered, with less than a 1,000 left in the world. The Grumeti Fund and its government partners are working on a long term project to reestablish the species to their rightful home in the Serengeti, Tanzania. This is phase three of the project, which saw the successful translocation of nine eastern black rhino from South Africa to Tanzania.

The Mountain Stone Weta, boasts perhaps the most extraordinary survival technique of all - the ability to come back from the dead. With the aid of a specialized filming chamber we are able to witness stunning footage of life slowly returning to this frozen insect.

What does a real Kiwi really look like? This simple question baffles many New Zealanders because we never get the chance to see one in daylight. Join the Paparoa Wildlife Trust team on a very special day - the day a fluffy, sleepy little New Zealander from Willowbank takes his first steps into his new home, the Bois Gentil Kiwi Creche. This safe haven in the forests at the foot of the remote Paparoa Ranges will ensure he makes it to adulthood. Hopefully in years to come, his spooky territorial calls will echo through these valleys, a gentle reminder of what New Zealand nights should sound like.
