To say that Gabriela Osio Vanden and Jack Weisman’s 14-minute documentary, Nuisance Bear, allows its audience to escape from their seat is somewhat of an understatement. Transporting us to Churchill, Manitoba, Canada during the annual polar bear migration, it is probably one of the most immersive short films I have seen in a long time. Set in a location known as a prime destination to photograph wildlife, the directing duo cleverly turns the camera around to captures the circus we have created around nature, subtly and effectively confronting us to the hard reality of the relationship we have with our environment.
