Curator’s notes

Damien Parer
The documentary is fun science. It superimposes prehistoric animals on contemporary settings to humourous effect. The excitement of scientific discovery is well illustrated together with information that is palatable to a general audience. Writer–director Ruth Berry’s credits include, Dinosaurs on Ice, Tropic Gothic, Wildlife of Rangers and Hypsi the Forest Gardener.
