Web of Love | The Courtship of a Garden Spider - Documentary Short - United Kingdom

2/22/2021

 
Can this male European garden spider pluck his way into a successful reproduction whilst staying off the menu?  The fascinating courtship routine often overlooked in your own back garden.
PictureDirector Andrew Salter
Watching natural history documentaries nurtured my love and enthusiasm for wildlife. As film is such an accessible medium, wildlife documentaries not only have the power to inspire, but play a key role in highlighting the importance of conservation and communicating environmental issues. This is a voice I aspire to contribute to, and ultimately led to me studying Zoology.

As the world becomes increasingly urban there is a growing disconnection between the natural world and our own. I hope that by bringing nature to the many through films I can provide an important well-being boost. Combining my passion for nature and creative filmmaking and I aspire to use my academic knowledge and creative flare to tell visually interesting stories.

Director Statement Spider behaviour is fascinating and so different to our own. A macro lens created a perspective of these animals you can't experience with the naked eye. I hope this film can inspire people to get out and observe animal behaviour anyone could find if they knew what to look for. I enjoyed filming this documentary as the subjects were so charismatic. The male's determination was so apparent, writing the narration felt natural.

Anifab judge's aggregate score is 8 out of 10 with one judge noting, "Wow! What an intimate look at something that most eyes will never see. Your ability to capture this on camera is most spectacular."
