Bighorn

Top of page

This film offers the viewer a far closer and more complete view of bighorn mountain sheep than even the hardiest and most patient of visitors to the Canadian Rocky Mountains is likely to get. Bighorn is a film distinguished by its cinematography. The camera records the characteristic behaviour of the bighorns, from birth to mating time. Few animals are more arresting in appearance or activity than these dancers of the high ledges. Filmed on location in Banff and Jasper national parks. Film without words.
