SynopsisFollow filmmaker Elam Stoltzfus as he takes you on a journey through one of Earth's greatest treasures, the Big Cypress Swamp, an ancient region of the Florida Everglades. A visual masterpiece that tells the story of Florida's river of grass; highlights people who share their passion for this wild place; seasons of scenery that pull into the rhythm of the swamp; and a chorus of nature sounds scored into a symphony. Elam Stoltzfus is a nationally acclaimed and award winning filmmaker and master cinematographer whose projects capture the essence and glory of nature. This documentary shares the history of the Western Everglades' preservation and showcases Big Cypress Swamp as an ever evolving, complex ecosystem. The film spotlights the stunning beauty of sawgrass and sunsets in the swamp, looks into the wide variety of plants and wildlife, and includes stories of tireless efforts to preserve and manage the Big Cypress Swamp region. Viewers are treated to rare and primeval sights and sounds of swamp expeditions through cypress strands by foot, air boat, swamp buggy and helicopter, all the while in the background the “music” of Big Cypress: an ever present orchestra of croaking frogs, wading birds, flowing water, and approaching thunderstorms. Film NotesThis film screens as part of the Explorations: Natural Florida program and is in competition. The filmmaker is expected to be present afterward for a Q & A session. |
