Melbourne: Strain wildlife documentary in film festival
A Kimberley documentary has featured at the Environmental Film Festival in Melbourne.
“Secrets of the Kimberley” features the photographic art of marine creatures by Broome Photographer Peter Strain.
He describes it as “a different way of seeing nature: anthropomorphic and art values featuring small marine creatures from the remote Kimberley shoreline”. [go to website]
The thirty minute documentary follows a journey to remote Kimberley reefs as Broome Photographer combines expressionistic pohotography of marine creatures with the work of a science team examining the extraordinary coral reefs of remote onshore reefs.
Art meets science. The photos featured in this documentary went on to become a major museum exhibition – “Line of Sight – Art meets Science on Australia’s Kimberley coast”.
