The six storey high screen The Edge goes beyond the Three Sisters to explore the rainforest, valleys, rivers and gorges of the World Heritage listed Blue Mountains.

Scale vertical cliffs and swim through hidden limestone caves, deep in the heart of this unique Australian landscape. The discovery and re-discovery of the Blue Mountains creates the a chance to tell one of the great stories of humankind: A story of learning to see. In these mountains a story can be told of coming to terms with the oldest, most varied and most fragile ecology on earth. The Blue Mountains wilderness is a unique and exquisitely beautiful part of the world, protected until recently from the encroachment of modern industrial society by its thousand meter cliffs - but so very much more delicate than we have ever understood that it is hard to feel any confidence that it can survive much longer. Too many of the species of animal and plant that are indigenous to the area already carry the suffix "rare and endangered". It borders on a city of four million people but is so little known that only in October 1994, an explorer found himself standing in a grove of "dinosaur trees" that, until that moment, were believed to have been extinct for more than twenty million years. The Edge Movie is available in seven different languages including English, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Mandarin and Italian.
