\n Imax has boarded production on a new nature documentary, The Elephant Odyssey<\/em>, chronicling 16 wild Asian elephants\u2019 improbable journey across China\u2019s Yunnan province. Filmed with Imax cameras and slated for release across the Imax theater network in 2024, the 90-minute documentary is currently in production in China. Co-producers with Imax are Singapore\u2019s Beach House Pictures and a Beijing-based company called China Review Studio of China International Communications Group.<\/p>\n

\n The producers say the film will offer \u201ca completely new story on humanity\u2019s relationship with the elephant,\u201d with a narrative built around the real-life story that unfolded in 2020 when a group of wild Asian elephants left their habitat in China\u2019s Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve. The elephants\u2019 journey was captured by drone cameras and live-streamed, captivating viewers in China and elsewhere. For 18 months, the elephants travel<\/a>ed over 1,000 kilometers (over 620 miles) on a wildlife journey\u00a0that included \u201cimpromptu village feasts, riotous raids on grain stores,\u00a0messy mud fights\u00a0and even giving\u00a0birth on the road.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n \u201cThe 18-month journey of the Yunnan elephants at the height of the pandemic was a hopeful antidote to the lockdowns many of us were enduring,\u201d\u00a0said John\u00a0Turner,\u00a0head of documentaries for Imax. \u201cWe wanted to know more about these animals and why it happ<\/a>ened.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n The film is directed by filmmaker Alice Gu (The Donut King<\/em>) with Clair Popkin (Free Solo<\/em>) serving as the director of photography.\u00a0Imax\u2019s John Turner and Daniel Manwaring, Beach House\u2019s Donovan Chan and Jocelyn Little, and China Review Studio\u2019s Chen Fang executive produce.<\/p>\n

\n Added China Review Studio\u2019s director, Chen: \u201cThe Elephant Odyssey<\/em> is a deep exploration that goes beyond the fascinating journey of the Asian elephants that moved north and south, uncovering previously unknown, touching stories. We very much look forward to telling a distinctive Chinese story to audiences worldwide, together with Imax and Beach House Pictures.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
