Muskox: Survival in the Arctic Joins the Official Selection of Wild Earth Oceania 2026

8 Jul

We’re delighted to announce that Muskox: Survival in the Arctic will make its Australian debut at the Wild Earth Oceania Film Festival 2026.

We’re especially happy to share this story with Australian audiences — a story of resilience, survival, and deep connection to one of the most extreme and fragile environments on Earth. Through the muskox, we are reminded of the strength of wild species, the beauty of the Arctic, and the urgent need to protect the places and creatures we love.

This year’s theme, ONE EARTH, invites us to reconnect with the living world and the impact we can create when we come together with care, courage, and hope.

In partnership with Wallis Entertainment, the festival presents 10 inspiring days of world-class environmental cinema, featuring 13 films, including 5 Australian premieres.
