As the year comes to a close, we want to pause and say one thing: thank you! With EUROPE airing and traveling to festivals around the world in the past months, this feels like the moment to look back at the people behind it all. The long days, the cold mornings, the waiting, the teamwork and the countless fun moments in between. Thank you to the incredible crew and everyone who made EUROPE possible 🤗

International Jaguar Day
Today we celebrate one of the Americas’ most iconic predators.

For Light & Shadow, the jaguar holds a special place. Back in 2009 our team set out into the heart of the Pantanal with one big goal: to film a jaguar hunting a caiman, a behaviour that had rarely been documented clearly at the time. For six months, director Christian Baumeister and the crew spent every day on the river. Long hours. Failed attempts. Close encounters. And then, finally, the moment and the scene that became central to the film „Phantom Cat“ and one of the first high-quality recordings of this hunt ever filmed.

Today we celebrate the jaguar, and the efforts to protect it across its entire range. And we use this day to highlight the threats it continues to face and the need to safeguard the connected habitats it depends on.

What a week!
Thank you for these incredibly inspiring days of stunning landscapes, interesting panels, hilarious stories and lovely people.

Being on stage alongside so many talented cinematographers to present one of the most iconic shots from our EUROPE series was so much fun and we’re so grateful to have been nominated as a finalist for Cinematography. Congratulations to all the winners - we can’t wait to watch your films!

It was such a joy to meet the community from all around the world and hearing about the episodes they worked on.

Huge thanks to the Jackson Wild Team and all its volunteers for organising this. Until next time!
