THE LAND
OF PERMAFROST
Year of production: 2011
The Amur leopard is one of
the most special animals in the world –
only 50 remain, in the Far East of
Russia. Kedrovka, a female leopard,
is one of them. Our cameras recorded
Kedrovka non-stop for one year.
She hunts, gives birth to baby leopards,
and disappears in the thick forest
before returning home. Look how
Kedrovka defends her territory from
strangers. This documentary is the very
first to capture these unique scenes
from the lives of the Amur leopards.

The seemingly never-ending hilly terrain;
the centuries-old pine trees reaching
up to the sky; the rivers teeming with
fish ready for spawning; the playful
grey whales in the sea; the storms,
the typhoons... Welcome to Sakhalin,
Russia’s largest island. It is a place
with the capacity to surprise even
the most seasoned of travellers, where
life is governed by its unique climate.
The island is home to some incredible,
and very rare, flora and fauna – over
a hundred species of amazing plants
and animals found on Sakhalin are
on the IUCN Red List. Sakhalin’s
indigenous Nivkh people, while small
in number, are warm and welcoming,
happy to provide an insight into their
traditional way of life and spirituality.
Today, the island is a nature reserve,
untouched by modern civilisation. It is
a true gem of the Russian Far East, a
beacon standing above the waves of the
Pacific Ocean.
This cinematic journey into the Lena
Delta Wildlife Reserve provides
a fascinating insight into the land
which never melts. This unique and
virtually unstudied land lies in the
north-eastern corner of Russian
Siberia. It is a frozen wasteland of
mists shifting over the tundra; of
stunning and unique limestone cliffs
shaped over half a billion years
by wind, frost water and ice; and
where a world-famous mammoth
graveyard forever lies imprisoned in
permafrost…
