Though it’s from the perspective of a fox cub, this short film is really just a gentle saunter through life in a forest teeming with life. Most things are bigger than this curious little critter: some are scared of it, others want to eat it and it’s mother spends much of her time trying to feed, find and house it amidst all the noises that surround this new family. It’s really the photography that stands out here…
