Australian musician Warren Ellis takes us on a guided tour through his world and one very special animal sanctuary. A key member of iconic bands The Dirty Three and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds, multi-instrumentalist Ellis has cut a brilliant and unorthodox figure in music for over three decades. Far from the international concert halls in which he has plied his craft lies a very different passion project: a wildlife sanctuary in the forests of Sumatra. Co-founded by Ellis and spearheaded by the indomitable Femke den Haas, whose dedicated team of conservationists rescues trafficked and mistreated animals and then devotes years to nursing them back to health. This fly-on-the-wall documentary offers both a deeply personal insight into one artist's life through the act of creating and an inspiring reminder of how much can be achieved when working together.

Luke Buckmaster Guardian Ellis Park moves to a strange and interesting melody, its motions circular and circuitous. Aug 15, 2024 Full Review Philip Bagnall Loud and Clear Reviews Ellis Park is a charming profile of Bad Seeds maestro Warren Ellis, even if fans know most of what it has to say already. Rated: 3/5 Oct 19, 2024 Full Review Joonatan Itkonen Toisto.net A profoundly moving film of an artist looking at another and uncovering the person behind the act. It left me an emotional wreck by the end. Rated: 5/5 Oct 19, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
