Can anyone recommend me some good travel and/or environment multimedia project? I am researching for a presentation and I would love to find something interesting and stimulating. Thanks!

Other resource for films might be Festival CinemAmbiente's website (www.cinemambiente.it) and through that you perhaps will find authors who have made also multimedia projects.

Also from this year's selection are: "Mountains in Motion", which used time lapse to show the beauty of our mountain scape http://vimeo.com/45941676 and "Crossing the Ice" about the expedition of two Australians and a Norwegian from the 'shores' of Antarctica to the South Pole...and back http://casandjonesy.com.au/expeditions/crossing-the-ice/ In terms of data and environmental issues, there's a website about tracking the Amazon's health which I think is really intriguing: http://infoamazonia.org/ Just a couple ideas!
