First Thursdays films are brought to you by
the Sheffield Foundation

In the heart of the Tibetan highlands, multi-award-winning nature photographer Vincent Munier guides writer Sylvain Tesson on his quest to document the infamously elusive snow leopard. Munier introduces Tesson to the subtle art of waiting from a blind spot, tracking animals, and finding the patience to catch sight of the beasts. Through their journey in the Tibetan peaks,
inhabited by invisible presences, the two men ponder humankind’s place amongst the magnificent creatures and glorious landscapes they encounter along the way.

Directed by MARIE AMIGUET and VINCENT MUNIER. Written by MARIE AMIGUET, VINCENT MUNIER, and SYLVAIN TESSON. Original Music by WARREN ELLIS featuring NICK CAVE
