The Velvet Queen

High up on the Tibetan plateau. Amongst unexplored and inaccessible valleys lies one of the last sanctuaries of the wild world, where rare and undiscovered fauna lives. Vincent Munier, one of the world's most renowned wildlife photographers takes the adventurer and novelist Sylvain Tesson (In the Forest of Siberia) with him on his latest mission. For several weeks, they'll explore these valleys searching for unique animals and try to spot the snow leopard, one of the rarest and most difficult big cats to approach.

Critic Reviews:

• " This is more than just a nature documentary — it enters the realm of mysticism and the images of the leopard itself provide an immensely satisfying conclusion. " – David Stratton (The Australian)

• " Languid and enthralling, this long, patient quest to capture a rare creature on film in its sublime habitat becomes an audience obsession too. " – Jane Freebury (The Canberra Times, Australia)

• " A film of beauty, feeling, insight and inspiration. " – Sarah Ward (Concrete Playground)
