Charismatic Megafauna

Charismatic Megafauna is an ode to Mother Nature. It is an ode to cultural heritage in this modern world of over-consumerism we currently live in. It is an ode to life. This might sound like an exaggeration, but rather, it is the only way to do justice to this visual masterpiece. Charismatic Megafauna is nothing short of charismatic. This experimental documentary is a film that transcends words. By doing so, this audiovisual experience challenges traditional storytelling. Kurlandsky and Wenzel take us from the townships of Cape Town to the Xingu River in Brazil to the most densely populated country in the world and its capital, Beijing. And they do so without relying on the power of language. No words are needed as Charismatic Megafauna proves that a picture is worth a thousand of them. (Stockholm Film Festival)
