What? A film with no dialogue? And for international release at that - for free?
Gogol Lobmayr, a renowned filmmaker, director, cameraman and producer who has piled up 30 years of experience in the art has done it before, and he is doing it again for nature shots in the Philippines - Bohol included.
His Fascinating Nature trilogy: The Most Spectacular Landscapes in the World; Colours of Earth; and Seven Seasons that became bestsellers and are now available in DVDs have the Lobmayr master stroke - no dialogues, not even narratives - but only the accompaniment of special original composed music of Michael Hofman de Boer, he told Bohol Gov. Erico Aumentado and the Provincial Tourism Council (PTC) chaired by Peter Dejaresco during a meeting at the Bohol Bee Farm in Dao, Dauis town.
To say that the native Bavarian adores the beauty of nature is an understatement. He loves nature and have made it the subject of his films that have no narratives.
"These [narratives] are just 'intrusive'. In the end, the viewer will recall only a little of the film. On the other hand, narrative-less films will engulf, awe, mesmerize, enthrall and captivate the viewers," he explained. - The Bohol Chronicle
