*SUNDANCE 2026* Interview With 'Nuisance Bear' (2026) Editor, Andres Landau

With Nuisance Bear, filmmakers Gabriela Osio Vanden and Jack Weisman return to Churchill, Manitoba — affectionately known as the “Polar Bear Capital of the World” — to deepen the inquiry begun in their award-winning short film in 2021. The result is a striking portrait of the fraught coexistence between polar bears and humans, guided by an Inuit narrator whose insights resist simplification.
We are joined by the film's editor, Andres Landau, who also edited the short and has been involved with the story for seven years. Parsing over 700 hours of nature and narration footage, Andres and his team craft a beautiful exploration of the consequences when modern life and natural landscapes collide.
The film recently had its World Premiere at the Sundance Film Festival 2026, winning the Grand Jury Prize in the U.S. Documentary Competition.
