Oscar-nominated director Markus lmhoof (The Boat ls FuIl) tackIes thevexing issue of why bees, worIdwide, are facing extinction. With the tenacity of a man out to solve a world-cIass mystery, he investigates this gIobaI phenomenon, from California to SwitzerIand, China and Australia. Exquisite macro-photography of the bees (reminiscent of Microcosmos) in fIight and intheir hives reveaIs a fascinating, complex worId in crisis. Writes Eric Kohn in lndiewire: "lmhoof captures the breeding of queen bees in minute detail, ventures to a Iaboratory to witness a bee brainscan, and discovers the dangerous prospects of a hive facing the infection of mites. ln this Iattercase, the camera's magnifying power renders the infection in sci-fi terms, as if we've stumbled into a discarded scene from David Cronenberg's The Fly." This is a strange and strangeIy moving film that raises questions of species survival in cosmic as weII as apiary terms. |
