Special Jury Mention
Yellowstone: Winter
USA, 2009, 59 minutes
Produced by Andrew Murray
Production companies: BBC/Animal Planet
In winter, Yellowstone is frozen solid — locked in snow as deep as a house. The film charts the fortunes of Yellowstone’s wildlife in their finely balanced fight to survive. Bison use their powerful heads to dig through some of the country’s deepest snow in order to reach the grass beneath. A red fox listens for mice scurrying far below the surface before diving headfirst to snap up its prey, while otters seek out any remaining open water where they can fish.
“Incredible images captured in near-impossible circumstances,” says jury member Kristi Denton Cohen.
