Wild Ocean 3D
Every year billions of fish travel up the Wild Coast of South Africa. For the
people living along the shore, this migration has provided a food source for countless generations, while farther out at sea ocean predators come from
great distances to feast. Dolphins, sharks, whales, seals and diving birds are
all drawn to the scene. The film highlights this great migration spectacle,
plunging viewers into an underwater feeding frenzy. It explores the economic
and cultural impact of the ocean and the interplay between humans and ocean ecosystems. See the Educator's Guide for resources and activities to learn
more about the ocean ecosystem and the predator-prey relationships at www.wildoceanfilm.com.

Australia: Land Beyond Time
With its endless coastline and vast expanses of red, sandy desert, Australia
harbors unique inhabitants and dramatic scenery. Kangaroos bound majestically across the plains, thorny devils scamper comically through the spinifex and
koala families take siestas, lounging together atop their eucalyptus perches.
Exotic rainforests and cascading waterfalls also are counted among the
continent's hidden treasures. In breathtaking large-format imagery, the film
explores the lavish richness, diversity and uniqueness of Australia's life, life that
has survived and evolved during its four-billion-year journey through time. See
more about this film, including a study guide at: www.imax.com.au
(click on resources under Schools at bottom of page).

Hubble 3D
Vividly captured in IMAX 3D this film recounts the journey of the most important scientific instrument since Galileo's original telescope and the greatest success in space since the Moon Landing - the Hubble Space Telescope. Through the power of IMAX 3D, your students will journey through distant galaxies to explore the grandeur and mysteries of our celestial surroundings, and accompany space-walking astronauts as they attempt the most difficult and important tasks in NASA’s history. More information on the film available in March at www.imax.com/hubble.

Take your students to the surface of the moon or the bottom of the ocean!
