Louie Schwartzberg: The hidden beauty of pollination

Louie Schwartzberg shows an excerpt from his truly beautiful film about the pollinators of our world and discusses their importance to the continual rebirth of life on our planet.

“Beauty and seduction, I believe, is nature’s tool for survival because we will protect what we fall in love with. Their relationship is a love story that feeds the earth.”

“I realised that nature had invented reproduction as a mechanism for life to move forward. As a life force that passes right through us and makes us a link in the evolution of life”

Pollination: it’s vital to life on Earth, but largely unseen by the human eye. Filmmaker Louie Schwartzberg shows us the intricate world of pollen and pollinators with gorgeous high-speed images from his film “Wings of Life,” inspired by the vanishing of one of nature’s primary pollinators, the honeybee.
