Institute History
Description
Two men—a biologist and a photographer—traveled to Ellesmere Island in Canada’s high Arctic for a rare look at the very private life of wolves in their natural territory. For weeks, they kept a rock-bottom profile—sometimes prone and whining—to reassure the wolves. Eventually, they got their reward; the den. This marks the first time a research team has infiltrated a free-roaming pack of wolves.
Arctic Wolves (working title) is a revealing record of the experiences and discoveries of Jim Brandenburg and David Mech. Together they shed light on some of the myths and mysteries that shroud a much feared and mistakenly maligned predictor.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
