Guardians of the Forest

Guardians of the Forest is a short documentary that follows photographer Joshua Holko on a journey into the boreal forests of Finland. Through breathtaking scenes, the film explores how respect for the environment leads to stronger visual storytelling. Wolves and bears are presented as guardians of the forest, shaping the balance of this fragile ecosystem. Rather than focusing on single wildlife images, the film emphasises patience, observation, and narrative, showing how meaningful photography emerges from understanding place, ecology, and responsibility.

The film is by Christopher Nemes about Joshua Holko whose work focuses on wildlife, environment, and storytelling through long term observation.
