Bathwick produced film “Of Oozies and Elephants” will be at the Little Cinema Bath on Monday 24th March at 18.15 (there will be a Q & A with Director Suzanne Campbell-Jones and Editor Simon Campbell-Jones after the screening)

After its early sell out at the Bath Film Festival and winning the Audience Award we urge you to book early to be assured of seeing this fascinating film about the timber elephants of Myanmar (Burma).

Oozies is Burmese for head-riders, the men who log the forests of Myanmar with elephants. Controversially the film reveals that selective logging with elephants is saving the largest remaining forests in South East Asia forests from destruction and could save all Asian elephants – wild and captive – from total extinction.

A group of scientists, led by ‘elephant lady’ Khyne U Mar, travel through this recently opened country where elephants are loved and valued. Their investigations involve weighing, measuring, blood testing and semen sampling – quite a feat with such huge animals – as they look for reasons why too many baby elephants do not survive to adulthood. There are plenty of surprises.
