Join our Life on Our Planet ‘making-of’ screening at Festival of Nature 2024

We’re delighted to announce Silverback Films is once again part of this year’s Festival of Nature – the UK’s largest celebration of the natural world.

Join Life on Our Planet producers Sophie Lanfear and Barny Revill for a special behind-the-scenes talk on how our ground-breaking 8-part Netflix series was made.

Today there are 20 million species on our planet, yet what we see is just a snapshot in time. From recreating Earth’s greatest extinction events, to bringing back pre-historic creatures like the Tyrannosaurus Rex, our producers will reveal how they approached telling the story of life on our planet as never before – combining expertise in natural history storytelling and world-class cinematography with the latest VFX.

Across six years of planning and production, our series involved a crew of 440 people; visits to six continents; portrayals of 500 species (some still living and other extinct); 868 VFX shots; and 2,181 hours of footage filmed. 

We’ll be at the Bristol Aquarium on Sunday 2nd May from 3pm – 3.45pm

All ages welcome, family-friendly
