Ellis Park
As a member of the legendary bands The Dirty Three and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, multi-instrumentalist and renowned film composer Warren Ellis has made a name for himself as a brilliant and unconventional musician for over three decades. Far removed from the international concert halls where he plies his trade lies a very different passion project: a wildlife sanctuary in the forests of Sumatra. Co-founded by Ellis and led by the unwavering Femke den Haas, whose dedicated team of conservationists rescues trafficked and abused animals and then cares for them for years until they are healthy again.
This documentary offers a deep personal insight into the life of an artist and reminds us how much can be achieved when passionate people come together to do great things and influence the world around them. Charismatic composer Warren Ellis invites us into his personal universe, where he runs a sanctuary for endangered animals in Sumatra while inventing new sounds with his violin and synthesizer.
Richly cinematic... this film will stay with you.
★★★★ The Guardian
A beautifully told story about the affirmative impact a dedicated few can make when they come together with passion and love.
