This 1971 movie combines elements of documentary and science fiction to present a gripping depiction of the Darwinian struggle for survival between humans and insects. Several cinematographers photographed this film using stop-motion photography with microscopic and telescopic lenses. The Hellstrom Chronicle’s trailer resembled an announcement for a science fiction movie.
The Hellstrom Chronicle took home an Academy Award (Best Documentary Feature), a Cannes Film Festival Grand Prize (Technical) and the BAFTA Award (Best Documentary feature).
