ELLIS PARK - A J Flix series film
A poignant insight into the world of Warren Ellis, the man, the music & the wildlife sanctuary for broken, trafficked animals.
Friday 20 February / 7.00pm
Tickets: thej.com.au/ellis-park/
Australian musician Warren Ellis takes us on a guided tour through his world and one very special animal sanctuary.
Warren Ellis is a multi-award-winning musician and film composer he is an in-demand producer and writer, working with artists including Nick cave and Marianne Faithful.
Ellis plays the violin, piano, accordion, bouzouki, guitar, flute, mandolin, mandocello and viola. He 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 conservationist’s 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.
Veterinarian paramedic nurse Femke Den Haas has been working in Indonesia for over 20 years largely focusing on saving animals from human captivity. She works to either repatriate them to the wild, or where this is not possible, to find them a place where they can live out their days with dignity. Warren was immediately struck by both the need and the work Femke and her team was doing to try and meet this need.
