Wildscreen

Wildscreen

Wildscreen is an educational charity based in Bristol, England, working globally to promote the conservation of nature, and the public’s appreciation of biodiversity, through wildlife imagery:

The charity was launched in 1982 with the initial aim of encouraging and applauding excellence in the production of natural history films and television. At first, it worked mainly by hosting the Wildscreen Festival, at which wildlife film-makers and broadcasters from different parts of the world met to view the latest productions, discuss issues of mutual interest, exchange ideas and compete for the Panda Awards.

Over the years since then the festival has significantly expanded its scale and content and the charity has also enlarged its remit, including by launching ARKive, a centralised collection of films and photographs of endangered species which can be accessed free of charge by an award-winning website. Another initiative is WildFilmHistory, a wildlife film-making archive that is being developed for launch in 2007 with a mission to locate and conserve films, photographs, publications and memories related to the history and development of the wildlife film industry worldwide.
