Sky Hunters - The World Of the Dragonfly

Libellen - Die Himmelsjäger

Directing: Kurt Mündl

Synopsis

They existed 90 million years before the first dinosaurs hatched and they’re still here 65 million years after the last dinosaurs disappeared. This film shows that dragonflies have colonised the entire world - and it follows every stage of their development, from egg to “Sky Hunter”. The film follows these predatory monster-larvae with their extra-terrestrial looks in the depths of ponds and streams - learning how they inspired the alien in "Alien"! “Sky Hunters” also takes us back to the very beginnings of dragonfly rule- back to the carboniferous and gingko forests of hundreds of millions of years ago. A journey in time, achieved not with 2D graphics but with utterly believable CGI animation.
