Film Information

In the heart of the Tibetan highlands, multi-award-winning nature photographer Vincent Munier guides writer Sylvain Tesson on his quest to document the infamously elusive snow leopard. Munier introduces Tesson to the subtle art of waiting from a blind spot, tracking animals, and finding the patience to catch sight of the beasts. Through their journey in the Tibetan peaks, inhabited by invisible presences, the two men ponder humankind’s place amongst the magnificent creatures and glorious landscapes they encounter along the way.

Reviews

“Gorgeous, humbling, looking out-, up- and inward, the documentary “ The Velvet Queen ” is the rare nature film about not only beauty and beasts but also the very human urge to make sense of our place in it all.”

Robert Abele

Los Angeles Times

“Two French adventurers travel the Tibetan Highlands in search of the elusive snow leopard, but Marie Amiguet’s quietly spellbinding doc is more about the chase than the quarry.”

Guy Lodge

Variety

“[A] calming, meditative experience.”
