Ellis Park | dir.. Justin Kurzel | Australia | 2024 | 106 min.

Far beyond the stages where he has spent more than three decades performing with The Dirty Three and Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, multi-instrumentalist Warren Ellis has devoted himself to an entirely different calling. Deep in the forests of Sumatra, he co-founded a wildlife sanctuary where, alongside conservationist Femke den Haas and her team, trafficked and abused animals are given a second chance. Blending intimate observation with breathtaking natural landscapes, Ellis Park reveals an artist whose creativity extends beyond music into a profound commitment to compassion and environmental stewardship. More than a portrait of a celebrated musician, the film is a moving reflection on care, coexistence, and the transformative power of collective action.
