'Ellis Park' the movie is now in cinema's all over the world
A heartwarming film was made about Ellis Park - JAAN's Sumatra sanctuary for animals that can never return to the wild. It premiered at the Melbourne International Film Festival in 2024 and is now in cinema's all over the world.
Movie summary
"A key member of iconic Australian bands The Dirty Three and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds as well as a prolific film score composer (The Proposition; Hell or High Water, MIFF 2016), Warren Ellis has cut a brilliant and unorthodox figure in Australian music for over three decades. Far from the international concert halls in which he has plied his craft, however, lies a very different passion project: a wildlife sanctuary in the forests of Sumatra."
"Co-founded by Ellis and led with unwavering dedication by Femke den Haas (founder of JAAN Indonesia), Ellis Park is a beacon of kindness in a world that sometimes has precious little of it to spare."
