IWFF: Queen Without Land & Grizzly Encounters & The Path Back Description:
Queen Without Land
53 minutes, Directed by Asgeir Helgestad, Norway
A beautiful film about a polar bear mother and her cubs living on the arctic islands of Svalbard. We follow Frost through five years and learn how she is affected by rising temperatures as ice disappears from her fjords.

Grizzly Encounters with Chris Morgan
52 min, Directed by Annette Scheurich and Klaus Scheurich, Germany
When spring arrives on Alaska’s Katmai coast, it’s time for brown bears to emerge from their winter slumber. But this is no ordinary bear habitat – this is bear paradise. An unusual combination of rich food sources draws more grizzlies to its lush sedge meadows, extensive mudflats, and rushing rivers than to anywhere else on Earth. Surrounded by wild grizzlies of all ages and personalities, Chris Morgan grants us a rare glimpse into their daily lives, their triumphs, and tribulations.

The Path Back
5 minutes, Directed by Neil Losin, US
For thousands of years, the buffalo or plains bison (Bison bison) sustained the many native tribes that inhabited the Great Plains region of North America. But when Europeans arrived in the area, they nearly exterminated the buffalo and an indigenous way of life. In recent years, however, the Assiniboine and Sioux Tribes of Montana's Fort Peck Reservation have joined with other tribal groups throughout the region to bring buffalo back to their ancestral lands and into their lives.
