DURRELL'S UNDERHOGS
45 minutes
Produced by Daniel Craven, Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust (Bailiwick of Jersey Channel Islands)
Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust loves animals. Not just the headline grabbing super megafauna but the little guys too, the species overlooked, too small to be seen and heard - the underdog species.

NATURAL BORN CHAOS
12 minutes
Produced by Anneliese Possberg (Germany)
The wild Bavarian Forest is home to amazing wildlife and natural jewels that you would not expect in the middle of Europe. Wild animals can live amidst the German civilization thanks to a tiny insect with a big potential and a ranger helped by the local school children.

RED SKYE ON THE BLACK ISLE
12 minutes
Produced by Lisa Marley (Scotland)
This documentary looks at the gravest wildlife crime in the United Kingdom's history to date. In 2015, birds of prey were killed in one small area of the Black Isle in Scotland. One year later, this short film gives a local perspective about what happened, how the incident was handled and the future for the Red Kite species in Scotland.
