DOLPHINS

BY KEITH SCHOLEY

“Dolphins” (“Blue” in the French version) is the
latest release by the Disneynature label, an en-
tity created in 2008 dedicated to wildlife docu-
mentaries.

Each film looks at an ecosystem through a
different species and contains an environ-
mental message. Keith Scholey has already
created three feature films for Disneynature:
“African Cats” about lions in Tanzania, “Bears”
about a family of bears in Alaska, and “Dol-
phins”, about the seabed and coral reefs.

Blue is a young dolphin who must learn to
leave his mother and hunt to survive and find
his place. On his journey, he encounters pre-
dators, surprising friendly species and others
which are less friendly. They are all part of a su-
perb underwater ballet with sparkling colours,
both harmonious and dangerous.

INTO THE ARCTIC 3

BY CORY TRÉPANIER

A Canadian landscape painter, Cory Trépanier
is also an explorer and film producer who films
his travels in Canada’s far north.

His “Into the Arctic” trilogy started in 2006 and
ended ten years later with this third episode.
This latest film looks at the environmental pro-
blems of the Arctic and is the tale of his four-
th expedition. For nine weeks, Cory Trépanier
covered 25,000 km in the footsteps of the
Franklin expedition on the island of Beechey in
1845 and along the Thomsen river.

The special feature of his films is that he com-
bines the breathtaking beauty of the lands-
capes, his paintings and the threats caused by
humans and nature in these changing regions.
