The Velvet Queen

Renowned wildlife photographer Vincent Munier chases his dream of photographing the elusive snow leopard in the Tibetan Himalayas, accompanied by adventurer Sylvain Tesson.

The sheer majesty of nature, coupled with a sublime score from Warren Ellis and Nick Cave, plus Munier and Tesson’s thought-provoking philosophical musings, combine to create a profound and inspiring documentary. Expertly visualised, The Velvet Queen is a quiet and reflective meditation about the beauty of the untouched and the true virtue of patience.
