Film producer and BMAV member Chris Palmer will be talking about how to film sharks, bears, wolves without getting eaten! Wildlife and nature films are a hugely popular entertainment genre. As cinematic technology brings ever more breathtaking images to the screen, and as our direct contact with nature diminishes, an ever-expanding audience craves the indirect experience of wild nature that these films provide. But this success also has a dark side involving sensationalism, extreme risk-taking, and even abuse in wildlife films. Chris's dynamic presentation will include clips and describe the adventures and challenges involved in making films about wild and potentially dangerous animals.

Free and open to the public.
