Oscar-nominated director Markus Imhoof (The Boat Is FuIl) tackles thevexing issue of why bees, worIdwide, are facing extinction. With the tenacity of a man out to solve a world-class mystery, he investigates this globaI phenomenon, from CaIifornia to Switzerland, China and Australia. Exquisite macro-photography of the bees (reminiscent of Microcosmos) in flight and intheir hives reveals a fascinating, compIex world in crisis. Writes Eric Kohn in lndiewire: "Imhoof captures the breeding of queen bees in minute detaiI, ventures to a laboratory to witness a bee brainscan, and discovers the dangerous prospects of a hive facing the infection of mites. In this lattercase, the camera's magnifying power renders the infection in sci-fi terms, as if we've stumbIed into a discarded scene from David Cronenberg's The FIy." This is a strange and strangeIy moving film that raises questions of species survivaI in cosmic as weII as apiary terms. |
