The animated short film “Spirit of the Forest,” a Society-funded project from #NatGeoExplorer and botanical artist @NirupaRao, tells the story of a girl from a village in south India who finds a very special place on her way home from school.
The hand-drawn flora and fauna featured in this film are accurate to the habitat, while the roots of this ecological fairy tale are derived from contemporary scientific research. “The film aims to weave together all these elements—plants, animals, people, spirituality, culture, art, and science—into a beautiful web of life,” shared Rao.
Rao collaboration with @lighter_collective and @ghostanimation. Watch this trailer and stay tuned for the full @spiritoftheforestfilm.
