My Videos of Soqotra

I have made two videos of my visits to the Island.
"Return to Soqotra" in 2002 and
"No Stone Unturned" in 2003.

Both films have won prizes in Film Festivals.

"Return to Soqotra"

This 5 minute film is basically a trip down memory lane where I compare Soqotra after 40 years. The video is in Windows Media Player format and is a zip file 8.5MB in size. To reduce the file size of the video the quality has been reduced considerably from that seen on the DVD.

This film is 10 minutes in length and is also a Windows Media Player zip file 15MB in size. The film covers the activities of the Soqotra Karst Project 3 led by Peter De Geest. To reduce the file size of the video the quality has been reduced considerably from that seen on the DVD.
