What's it About

Ever wonder what the world of an insect is really like? Here's your opportunity to find out! This film records the day-to-day environment and activities of various real-life ants and beetles, giving the viewer a bug's eye view of life on the planet — something few humans have witnessed before.

Why we love it

An astonishing achievement, French directors Nuridsany and Perennou invite us into a magical, distinct little world, invisible to the naked eye, that nevertheless exists all around us. "Microcosmos," which unsurprisingly won the Technical Award at Cannes, stands as a small miracle — a beautiful, fascinating evocation of the wonder inherent in all earth's species, including its smallest denizens. This masterpiece, appropriate for all ages, deserves a wider audience. Watch this; you'll thank us.
