Germany 2024 – 85 min – Director: Florian Graner

This film combines biological expertise, decades of experience and the passion of an animal film professional to create a comprehensive work of art. In sensitive and respectful sequences, the filmmaker opens a window into a world that would remain hidden to most people: the intimate family life, the tender gestures, the sophisticated hunting techniques and the surprising creativity of an animal species that develops its own fashions and rituals in close-knit communities. Thanks to the tireless commitment of Dr Florian Graner and his team, who spent countless hours on and underwater, ‘Orcas - Rulers of the Seas’ is a film that documents the behaviour of wild orcas in unprecedented depth and diversity.
