| | Join ACS Victoria for this exclusive screening of the feature film "Jungle" followed by a Q&A with cinematographer Stefan Duscio on Wednesday Feb 7th 2018
Take advantage of this opportunity to watch this incredible film shot in the Amazon rain forest under extremely difficult conditions. "Jungle" was shot over a demanding few weeks deep in this challenging environment. Hear from cinematographer Stefan Duscio about his approach to filming this project and how he achieved award winning results. The film screens at Backlot Studios on Wednesday February 7th 2018 at 7pm from a DCP. Synopsis:
In early 1980s, an Israeli adventurer named Yossi Ghinsberg (Daniel Radcliffe) travels to Bolivia for a journey into the heart of the Amazon rainforest. There, he meets Marcus Stamm, a Swiss school teacher, and Marcus's friend Kevin Gale, an American hiker and avid photographer. Arriving at La Paz, Yossi is spotted by a mysterious Austrian, Karl Ruprechter, who claims the existence of a lost Indian tribe and suggests searching in the jungle for them. Yossi believes him, and convinces Marcus and Kevin to join him hiking in the jungle. Yossi, Marcus, Kevin and Karl hike through the jungle for several days. When Marcus' feet are injured, Yossi wants him to leave the quest. Karl and Marcus decide to leave the journey and go back to La Paz, which takes three days. Yossi and Kevin continue their journey until their makeshift raft is destroyed by a strong current, and Yossi is washed away by the river, leaving Kevin behind. Without a knife or any kind of survival training, he must improvise shelter and forage to survive. Ghinsberg begins to give up hope after losing all sense of direction, wondering if he will ever survive the jungle. Meanwhile, Kevin is discovered by people from the local town who take him to Rurrenabaque which is 120 miles from Yossi's location, Curiplaya. Arriving there, Kevin called for the help of the local authorities to find Yossi. They failed to find Yossi through a plane flyover, but Kevin believes that Yossi is alive. Kevin ropes in the help of the local boat driver to search for him. Kevin finally discovers a now-weak Yossi and takes him to Rurrenabaque.
