An Otter Study is a 1912 British short black-and-white silent documentary film, produced by Kineto, featuring an otter in its natural habitat, including groundbreaking footage of underwater hunting scenes. The film provided a novel treatment of the creature, which had previously appeared on film only as the victim of hunt films, with the unique underwater footage, shot by a cameraman behind glass in a tank concealed on the bed of the river in the opening scene, and a concluding scene, excised from the surviving print, in which it escapes the hunters. It was long thought lost until footage from a 1920s Visual Education re-release of the film, re-edited under the supervision of Professor J Arthur Thomson of Aberdeen University's Natural History Department, was rediscovered.

From PBS and NATURE - On a typical late summer day a baby sea otter washes up on the beach in Monterey, California - hungry, lost, injured. It's a tragic event, but not surprising. California sea otters are struggling. For decades marine biologist Karl Mayer and his small staff have worked unceasingly - one otter at a time - to bring this "keystone" species back from the brink of extinction so it can play its important role in the local marine environment.

The early 20th century fable “The Fox and the Otter,” from the Historia y Conocimiento Oral Mapuche: Sobrevivientes de la campaña del desierto y ocupación de la Araucanía (1899–1926), tells the story of a homoerotic relationship between two animals – a fox and an otter, both males – where anal penetration is seen as an offense to masculinity.

Otters are so proficient at capturing the fish they live on, that they have lots of time left over for play.

They submerge us into the lake to find strange underwater spires only recently discovered by man. Other creatures sometimes survive bitter winter seasons by stealing fish from the otter.

This year, I was asked about Toshio Yamazaki, and when I did a Google search, nothing came up. This is not good. Toshio Yamazaki has the same last name as me, but in the mid-1980s I was called "good Yamazaki" and Toshio was called "bad Yamazaki.” He suffered from schizophrenia, which caused him to become paranoid and often made aggressive phone calls. As a result, no one contacted him and he eventually died alone, but it took a long time to find him. So the manager of his apartment disposed of everything in his room and now most of his works are no longer in the world. Fortunately, this work, which was also screened at PFF, was saved on a 3/4-inch videotape from that time, and a memorial screening was held of a film that was dubbed onto DV. I will upload this material to YouTube with English subtitles. The original was supposed to be in color, but the color signal could not be restored, so it is in black and white, but black and white may be a better fit for this work. -Mikio Yamazaki
