The Lost City of Z

Shooting on 35mm film posed significant logistical challenges in the middle of the Colombian jungle. "It was an act of absolute hubris to shoot this picture on film," said James Gray, who set up an elaborate routine to ship, process, and review the film during production. "First, we had to teach a young guy from Bogotà how to load the film, because nobody really knows how to do that anymore Then, every day after we finished our shoot, they'd put this film into a torn-up crappy cardboard box and load it onto a single-engine crop duster that would take off from this little runway. You're talking three flights every day just to get your film processed. The next morning, there was always this sense of dread when the satellite phone rang and you'd be thinking, 'I really hope the film arrived.'"

In many of the scenes the party is going visibly downstream while they are searching for the origin of the river.

Near the end of the credits, jungle noises resume.
