Wild Inside

Description

On February 2, 2023, Flaco — a captive-born male Eurasian eagle-owl, the largest species of owl in the world — was discovered missing from his cage at the Central Park Zoo in Manhattan. Immediately sparking a mix of delight, concern, and fascination for New Yorkers and owl fans across the globe, Flaco's journey is thoughtfully captured in WILD INSIDE. Acclaimed director and multi-MFF alum, Penny Lane (CONFESSIONS OF A GOOD SAMARITAN, HAIL SATAN?, NUTS!), reveals that this one owl's story of escaping captivity and our response is more consequential than we could have ever imagined.
