AniFab Official Selections '21

The Last Vaquita - Documentary Short - United Kingdom

2/12/2021

 
Animalis Fabula Film Festival Official Selection The Last Vaquita
With the Vaquita Porpoise on the brink of extinction, two brothers who collaborate as wildlife artists leave their studio behind and head to a small fishing town in Mexico. They board the M/V Farley Mowat to experience the front-line fight between ocean conservationists Sea Shepherd and the poachers, backed by the Mexican cartel, who are devastating countless marine species...
​Ed is a designer and storyteller passionate about people and the planet. In 2015 he co-founded Under the Skin with his brother James. Through this creative platform, they merge printmaking and film to tell compelling environmental stories and shine a light on the world's most endangered.
Director Statement  After working on conservation projects through Under the Skin over the past five years, this story of the Vaquita is certainly the most tragic and complex. It is a reflection of what is happening to countless species around the world. We felt compelled to tell the tale in a fast paced, engaging yet lighthearted narrative.

AniFab judge's aggregate score is 9.25 out of a 10 with one judge making a case for inclusion in the annual benefit series, "The Last Vaquita is an eloquent addition to the emerging story of the critically endangered Vaquita. Prior to last years release of Sea Of Shadows I don't believe there was much known about this "Cocaine" of the sea that is disappearing fast.  Can the world know about this species quick enough to help before it disappears forever?  Congratulations and thank you to the Harrison Bros. for beating the drum loudly, beautifully.  We hope to be able to include The Last Vaquita in our annual benefit showcase. Let's amplify the beat of the Bros."
