One of the driving forces behind the formation of the Noosa Film Festival, Arnold Kopff is achieving success as a short film maker with a string of awards to his credit including for his latest short film, ‘With the Himba at Epupa’.
The award winning cinematographer will present both his short 11-minute film and a longer 76-minute film ‘Perfect Wild – Namibia’, at U3A Noosa Friday Talks program on Friday 23 May from 1.30pm.
The feature length film produced by Arnold and Marilyn Kopff will take viewers on their epic 40-day self-guided, self-drive 4×4 expedition as they explored the fabulous wildernesses of Namibia.
They traverse stoney and sandy deserts, trek across the red dunes of the Kalahari Desert, visit the other-worldly ruins of Kolman Skop, once the world’s richest diamond field, see wildlife up close and spend time with the Himba people, some of whom continue their centuries-old lifestyle.
“With the Himba at Epupa” explores the lifestyle of the Himba, semi-nomadic animal herders who live at Epupa Falls in the remote far north of Namibia in a clan with their extended family.
The film has been critically acclaimed winning best short documentary accolades at film festivals at New York, Florence, Paris, London and Milan.
Arnold Kopff’s presentation will be in the U3A Noosa auditorium, 64 Poinciana Avenue, Tewantin on Friday 23 May from 1.30pm.
Admission $3.
