Original

Claude Nuridsany

Claude Nuridsany and Marie Pérennou were both born in Paris and received Masters degrees in biology at the Pierre and Marie Curie University (Paris VI). They interrupted their academic career in 1969 to devote themselves to research into living phenomena. In the process, they have devised special scientific camera equipment so as to disseminate texts and images about nature in all its manifestations in a spirit that attempts to reconcile science, with poetry, aesthetic experimentation with scientific information. In1976, they received the Niepce Prize for their photographic work, which has appeared in numerous publications. —TFF

    I'll admit my main reason for watching this is because it was mentioned in an episode of Roseanne.

An intimate (without being intrusive) look into a world that is so close to ours, yet appears so alien. Evocative soundtrack and beautifully shot and pieced together

Any comment could've made his documentary more exciting and prevent it from becoming a series of beautiful images.
