Der Schneeleopard (dt. Fassung)

In the heart of the Tibetan highlands, nature and wildlife photographer Vincent Munier sets off in search of the snow leopard together with writer Sylvain Tesson. Only a few specimens of this endangered and shy species can still be found in the wild. The two men roam the mountains for days on end, reading tracks and becoming one with the landscape. They wait patiently, observing and photographing. Their slow hunt for the snow leopard develops into an inner journey, a silent dialogue about man's place in a vanishing world. The result is a film of overwhelming beauty.

Tesson wrote about his experiences in the book ‘The Snow Leopard’ (Rowohlt Verlag), which was the most successful French-language book of 2019. Three-time BBC Wildlife Photographer of the Year Munier has captured his breathtaking photographs on paper in the illustrated book ‘Zwischen Fels und Eis’ (Knesebeck Verlag). Nick Cave and Warren Ellis contributed the congenial film music.
