Egypt From Above

Egypt From Above is the first film to be shot exclusively from helicopter in 4K format, showing the marvels of this unique country. Cradle and heir of the first civilizations, Egypt still fascinates by its illustrious figures, pyramids, sarcophagus, and its emblematic river, The Nile. Meeting land between Asia, Africa and Europe, Egypt enjoys an exceptional geographical diversity that we will reveal from a new perspective. 

This film is directed by award-winning photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand. Yann’s striking aerial photos and videos have caught the attention of millions, awakening them to the beauty of our planet and the need to sustain it. 

Yann always had a passion for nature and, at the age of 30, he moved to Kenya with his wife, Anne, to study the behaviour of lions in the Masaai Mara Reserve. While there the budding photographer discovered a unique way of capturing the stunning landscapes – flying miles above the earth in a hot air balloon. Years later in 2000, Yann entered the public limelight, following a large-scale art exhibition titled “Earth from Above”. Premiering in Paris, the exhibition quickly became a global sensation and traveled to cities around the world to reach over 130 million visitors by 2008. The exhibition aimed to inspire people to think globally about sustainable living while admiring images that show our planet in its fragile and stunning splendour. To date, the book has sold millions of copies in over 21 languages.
