CAROUSEL OF LIFE: THE TRADITIONAL ORCHARD
51 minutes
Produced by Verena Lemmer, Marco Polo Film AG (Germany)
This documentary is an affectionate portrait of a habitat that has originally been created by man: The Traditional Orchard, a place where man plants trees, harvests fruit and grass, but is otherwise seldom seen. From the perspective of the wild residents and visitors this is mostly a good place to be. Their efforts to profit from the wealth of the traditional orchard lead to amusing, sometimes even comical situations, but also to touching drama. The general approach towards animal behavior in this documentary is at times entertaining, humorous and over all sympathetic. This wonderful habitat is as closest to paradise as possible, where indeed wild creatures and man live and strive together for (perfect) harmony.

MARYLAND NATIVE PLANTS
5 minutes
Produced by Amy Oden, Maryland Public Television (USA)
