IWFF: The Road to 50: Microcosmos

The Road to 50 series will occur monthly from now until the 50th International Wildlife Film Festival in April. Each month, we'll be highlighting one of the most influential films of its decade from a scientific deep dive into the mind of the most famous primate on Earth, to a tragic tale of the blurred line between man and the wilderness, to an experimental comedy about invasive amphibians.
Experience the strange, beautiful, surreal world of insects as never before in this singular, artful nature documentary, which employs specially created cameras and lenses developed over the course of three years to capture an unseen parallel universe up close. With astonishing clarity, Microcosmos shows us the secret lives of snails, spiders, caterpillars, mantises, beetles, and more as they live, love, and struggle to survive, inviting us to see life on our own planet through new eyes.
