Dr Ted Oakes, Series Producer from the world famous BBC Natural History
Unit in Bristol, will be hosting a screening of his film Tribes, Predators
& Me - Crocodile People of New Guinea at Croyde's Deckchair Cinema on
Saturday 24 September 2016. The
film will be followed by an opportunity for the audience to meet some of the
'Tribes, Predators & Me' team, including Ted who produced the series, and
find out more about their work and experiences with the crocodiles!
Ted, who has a long standing connection to North Devon was invited to
host the event by local community film makers North Devon Moving Image
(NDMI). Amanda McCormack, Creative
Director of NDMI, says "We initially approached Ted to be a judge for our
North Devon Coast AONB Wild Shorts wildlife and environment film making
competition. As a keen conservationist
and fan of North Devon's natural beauty Ted jumped on board and kindly offered
to host this exciting event to help us raise funds for our project."
In 'Crocodile People of New Guinea' the Tribes, Predators & Me team
travel to Papua New Guinea to film the crocodile worshippers of the Sepik
River. Crocodile hunters invited
cameraman and presenter Gordon Buchanan
to join them catching adult crocodiles with their bare hands and he
meets a tribe who believe a giant crocodile protects them from their human
enemies.
Amanda adds "This is going to be a fascinating and fun evening,
the bar will be open and Calaca Loca will be on hand to dish up some delicious
Mexican street food. Tickets are only £6
and £4 for under 18s and can be bought online from the North Devon Moving Image
website."
All profits will be shared between NDMI's Wild Shorts project and Lynx
Trust UK.
Booking is essential. To find
