City Wild: Whackala’s first feature-length documentary about the people who live and work in Dublin’s vast Phoenix Park in the North West of the city, an urban park which serves as everything from a wildlife reserve to a busy recreational space, and the residence to some very special mammals. The keepers, rangers and gardeners keep the balance between those worlds and have spent most of their lives waking up and going to bed amongst them. Check the website for more details of the film and the process.

This is what the judges at NodoDocFest said about the film:

“[it] showed a clear historical context and evolution of what may be considered “third world” with a simplicity almost incredible in view of the complexity of the topic… For the simplicity of the editing and the close connection with the lives of the characters it was possible for the viewer to get carried by emotions and live the social status of the protagonists.”
