The Lions of the Kalahari are leaving the IMAX Theatre
January 17, 2005 — Gatineau (Quebec) — Last chance to see Roar: Lions of the Kalahari at the Canadian Museum of Civilization’s IMAX Theatre. Produce by National Geographic and Tim Liversedge Productions, the movie will be closing to the public on January 21.
An epic story of power and dominance, success and failure, Roar was filmed in the stark expanse of Botswana’s Kalahari Desert. Famed African filmmaker and Golden Panda award-winner Tim Liversedge — who also served as the film’s director, producer and cinematographer — has more than 40 years’ experience in Botswana. This enables him to bring audiences an unparalleled look at the natural behaviour of lions, their prey, and the incredible profusion of life, which congregates at the only water source within a 160-kilometre radius.
The drama poignantly weaves together the day-to-day life of lions with the suspense of rivalry. Here, one of the largest lions to walk the arid lands of the Kalahari — a 10-foot-long giant — reigns with his lionesses and cubs until a nomad comes to claim the territory for his own. Filmed entirely in the wild, Roar: Lions of the Kalahari carries the audience deep into the Kalahari Desert, where a life-and-death struggle unfolds between the lion king and the fierce, young contender for the throne.
Roar: Lions of the Kalahari is presented at the Canadian Museum of Civilization’s IMAX Theatre until January 21, in addition to Forces of Nature, presented on the IMAX Dome until June 2005.
