MELBOURNE DOCUMENTARY FILM FESTIVAL!
ONE SESSION ONLY
Prepare to be swept away by an extraordinary tale of resilience, determination, and ecological triumph! Join us for an exclusive IMAX screening of Emmy-winning director Tom Winston’s stunning documentary, showcasing breathtaking cinematography that chronicles the astonishing resurgence of the gray wolf in the American West. Once on the brink of extinction, these majestic creatures owe their remarkable comeback to an unforgettable cast of heroes—and one trailblazing heroine.
At the heart of this story stands Mollie Beattie, the first woman to lead the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. With unwavering grit and grace, she navigated a perilous political landscape to champion the wolf reintroduction project, forging a legacy so enduring that a wolfpack now carries her name. Featuring recently rediscovered 16mm footage from 1995—long believed lost—this film is a cinematic time capsule, weaving together awe-inspiring visuals and the vivid voices of Beattie’s passionate team. These colorful characters recount the thrilling, often heart-pounding journey of restoring these misunderstood predators to their rightful place in the wild.
Prior to THE LOST WOLVES OF YELLOWSTONE, see short film THROUGH THESE CROSSINGS by Cameron Trafford & Henry - a poetic and introspective short documentary about Michael, a para-climber rebuilding his life after a devastating car accident. The film examines his journey of self-discovery and captures a transformative moment as he takes on his first outdoor climb, reclaiming his identity and purpose.
