BORN TO BE WILD

IMAX adventure that invites spectators to explore the spectacular landscapes of Borneo forests and savannah of Kenya to know the work of people who rescue orphaned orangutans and elephants, two endangered species.

With an ecologist message of the need to preserve species "Born to be Wild" invites spectators on a trip round such spectacular sights as the jungles of Borneo and the savannah of Kenya.

This grand format IMAX production is based on the stories of orphan elephants and orang-utans in order to show the link that is created between humans and animals, and, how, thanks to the devotion of certain individuals, these animals have been rescued, so saving endangered species.

These incredible and vulnerable creatures embark on a tour with experts, whose main objective is to save and return to Mother Nature. The distinguished primatologist Biruté Mary Galdikas runs the rain forest of Borneo, while Dame Daphne M. Sheldrick, an expert on elephants, rescue one by one the babies of the giant mammals in Kenya.

The head of the music of the film is Mark Mothersbaugnh, singer of the rock band Devo that has set more than 70 films and television projects to music. The stunning images captured by Linckley in Born to be wild with a maximum field of view combined with the experience of the director in more than 30 films about nature, result in one of the most incredible experiences of immersion in the cinema. It is also a unique opportunity to reflect on the human impact on nature.

Sea Monsters is a prehistoric adventure that transports you 82 millions years back in time to the Cretaceous period when an extraordinary diversity of marine life populated vast ocean waters.

We'll know a family of Dolichorhynchops, also known informally as "Dollies" as they traverse ancient waters populated with curious animals as prehistoric sharks.

EVOLUTION

As for "Evolution", this commemorates two great anniversaries: the International Year of Astronomy and the Year of Darwin. This audiovisual production brings the astrobiology closer to the people, the science that include Astronomy and Biology.

A unique concept applied in two different areas that tell, on the one hand, the evolution of the species and, for other one, the evolution of the universe. Darwin and Galilean were two big geniuses who shared their enthusiasm for the experiments, their devotion to the scientific method and their will for going against the current.

"Evolution" realistically depicts a variety of scenarios, such as the deck of the Beagle, the first moments of life on Earth, the farthest Universe, the inside of the GTC telescope on the Canary island of La Palma, and Victorian London at the time of Darwin, not forgetting recreations of the starry sky.
