- A behind-the-scenes look at the making of March of the Penguins (2005).
- Of Penguins and Men (Des manchots et des hommes) is a documentary about the making of March of the Penguins (La marche de l'empereur). It recounts the sheer madness and inspiration of two cinematographers, Laurent Chalet and Jérôme Maison, as they brave the terrible polar winters to capture the breathtaking images seen in March of the Penguins. Narration in English is provided by Maison, who describes the travel to the polar region and the thirteen-month stay at an Antarctic French research lab, which served as the base of operations for the two cinematographers. Even so, the two men narrowly escaped death at least once in a severe Antarctic snowstorm, which puts the remarkable survival of the emperors penguins themselves into greater perspective.
