Films
[edit]Nicolas Vanier's 2004 film The Last Trapper followed a trapper in the Canadian Yukon.[1] In 2009 Vanier's movie Loup ("Wolf")[2] detailed the life of the Evens tribe in Siberia, Verkhoyansk mountain range, who lived by raising large herds of reindeer which they protected from attacking wolves.
In 2019, Nicolas Vanier's project Spread Your Wings sold well in the international markets.[3]
Events
[edit]In 2018 France Nature Environnement formally complained that Nicolas Vanier's film crew had disturbed a colony of Greater Flamingos by repeatedly flying overhead in an ultralight and causing an estimated 11% of the French breeding population to abandon its nests and eggs.[4] Vanier later agreed to end his filmmaking and transfer the movie's location to Norway.[5][6]
