Spring in Fiordland
Tonight's film, the fourth in this series of six, is made by a team from the London
International Film School.
Fiordland in the South Island of New Zealand is one of the most remote and spectacular mountain areas of the world. This natural history film, based on Operation Raleigh research and shot in just six weeks, follows the spring meltwaters from alpine peaks through rainforest to the sea. Tree ferns, honey eaters, strange lichens, mountain parrots, the flightless takahe and, of course, the kiwi are all part of this idyllic setting. Directed and edited by TREVOR DE KOCK
