For Ocean with David Attenborough, we captured the world’s first cinematic footage of bottom trawling in action beneath the ocean surface.
Using entirely new camera systems placed inside fishing nets and on the seabed itself, the team exposed one of the ocean’s most destructive hidden practices in unprecedented detail.
What they witnessed shocked them.
The footage became one of the film’s most talked-about sequences, helping bring the issue of bottom trawling into public, political and policy conversations around the world.
Now, go behind the scenes with the filmmakers who captured it.
Watch the full film on the Silverback Films YouTube channel.

A special message from Sir David Attenborough from last night's @wildscreenorg awards ❤️
From a heartfelt tribute to our co-founder Keith Scholey, honoured with Wildscreen's Lifetime Achievement Award, to celebrating A Gorilla Story: Told by David Attenborough winning the coveted Golden Panda Award 🏆🦍
What an extraordinary night for Silverback Films, with three Panda Awards for our productions alongside Keith's Lifetime Achievement Award!
But beyond the celebrations, Sir David shares a powerful reminder of why the stories we tell matter.
As wildlife filmmakers, we have a vital role to play in connecting people with nature, inspiring change and helping shape a future where humanity and the natural world can thrive together.
Thank you, Sir David, for your wonderful words, and congratulations to everyone recognised at this year's Festival ✨️

More than 800 VFX shots went into bringing The Dinosaurs to life - but which were our favourites? 🎬🦖
From an underwater shot inspired by Jaws and burning practical sets, to a dramatic Mosasaur attack and two massive dinosaurs going head-to-head, our team count down their Top 5 Shots from the series.
Working with ILM, practical filmmaking, innovative camera techniques and incredible visual effects came together to make these prehistoric worlds feel real.
And there’s more to come. Head to the Silverback Films YouTube channel for more The Dinosaurs Top 5s over the coming weeks; including Top 5 Locations, Top 5 Reptiles and Top

Some stories are closer to home!
DOLPHINS: MY CLOSE ENCOUNTERS, directed by Barny Revill, follows marine biologist Angela Ziltener on her 15-year journey alongside wild dolphins in Egypt’s Red Sea. What begins as scientific research becomes a deeply personal exploration of dolphin intelligence, connection, and the boundaries between humans and the natural world.
The film makes its MENA Premiere at the 9th edition of El Gouna Film Festival, bringing this extraordinary story to the very waters where it began, with the presence of the director and Barny Revill and Angela Ziltener.
بعض الحكايات أقرب إلينا مما نتخيّل!
يتتبع فيلم DOLPHINS: MY CLOSE ENCOUNTERS، من إخراج بارني ريفيل، رحلة عالمة الأحياء البحرية أنجيلا زيلتنر الممتدة على مدار 15 عامًا مع الدلافين البرية في البحر الأحمر بمصر. وما يبدأ كبحث علمي يتحول إلى رحلة شخصية عميقة لاستكشاف ذكاء الدلافين، وطبيعة التواصل معها، والحدود الفاصلة بين الإنسان والعالم الطبيعي.
يُعرض الفيلم لأول مرة في منطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال أفريقيا خلال الدورة التاسعة من مهرجان الجونة السينمائي، ليعود بهذه الحكاية الاستثنائية إلى المياه التي بدأت فيها، بحضور المخرج بارني ريفيل وعالمة الأحياء البحرية أنجيلا زيلتنر.

WORLD PREMIERE TONIGHT 🐬✨
Dolphins: My Close Encounters is on the big screen at @zurichfilmfestival
More than 15 years of Angela’s research have led to this moment - her extraordinary story, and the dolphins she has come to know across generations.
At its heart, the film asks what happens when we move beyond simply observing wild animals - and begin to consider how they may be observing and responding to us.
We’re so excited to celebrate with @angelaziltener Producer & Director Barny Revill @furious_panda @dolphinwatchallianceorg and members of the brilliant team behind the film.
A huge night for everyone involved 💙
Further ZFF screenings: 29 September + 2 October
Next stop: @gff in October

Do you ever wonder what happens behind the scenes on a wildlife shoot in Africa? Well, it’s me complaining most of the time. About what, you might ask? Most people might think on a six-week shoot it’s about missing my home, or the long travel, maybe the red dust that gets everywhere or maybe not seeing the wildlife or even the heavy camera gear. It’s none of those. The one thing the team heard me complaining about the most is the heat! But, do you know what? I wouldn’t have it any other way because that climate produces some of the world’s best wildlife encounters. If you want to see the full programme, go to BBC iPlayer and look for Hamza’s African Birds of Prey! H xx
