About The Musician from the Tatra (Documentary about a little boy in Poland, 2003)

The ten-year-old Krzysztof lives with his parents and grandparents in the High Tatra in Poland. The farmer family belongs to the tribe of the gorals which hand down their songs and dances from generation to generation. From an early age Krzysztof was taught dance and music at home by his grandparents and meanwhile he gives public performances with his violin in a wellknown ensemble which is gladly invited to weddings. Although the High Tatra is among the most popular Polish holiday regions and the gorals are regarded as a tourist attraction, Krzysztofs family lives secluded and has preserved a seriousness and credibility in dealing with the traditions. The wellknown Polish cameraman Jacek Blawut who shot for Krzystof Kieslowski already, and Andreas Voigt want to approach this phenomenon of a supposedly intact mountain world. Beyond folkloric clichés they portray a boy who selfconfidently and joyfully carries on the culture of his ancestors, on that maybe he even lives some day as a particularly gifted dancer and musician. script & directing: Andreas Voigt camera: Jacek Blawut sound: Jan Freda editing: Angela Wendt

The Art of Irish Beekeeping: The Keepers | Honey Bee Documentary

Set against the wild beauty of Ireland’s Beara Peninsula, this intimate documentary follows the De Ruiter family and their deep relationship with the honey bee after 25 years of life and beekeeping in Ireland. From pollen to pot, the film offers a poetic and immersive portrait of the apiary process, revealing how honey is shaped by landscape, season, family knowledge and the fragile rhythms of nature. Through the family’s daily stewardship, the documentary explores the cultural folklore of bees, the urgent environmental challenges facing pollinators today, and the powerful role conscious human care can play in protecting the natural world. Interwoven with original music and poetry, the film journeys alongside the honey bee and its keepers, uncovering a story of resilience, adaptation, ecology and interdependence.

After almost a year's absence from the original video platform, Leo is back with a brand new half-hour documentary filmed in Africa in the summer of 2017. Join Leo on his journey across southern Africa to explore the fascinating wildlife that calls Africa home. In the first episode of this two-part series, the Natural World Facts team head to Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe before travelling to Chobe National Park in Botswana. All footage is original and filmed by the NWF team. This was my first full-length documentary project, filmed in the summer of 2017 while on location in Zimbabwe. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and all I took (apart from suncream and far too few clothes) was my little handheld camera, and some SD cards with barely enough memory. What came out of it is this, a half-hour documentary featuring all original footage presented by myself, and I'm very happy with it. It took about a year to edit, with very limited resources by way of CPU but (luckily) access to Final Cut Pro. I hope you enjoy it
