Synopsis

In the summer of 1923 in North Sudan, King Alfonso XIII of Spain captured a large African elephant. This seemingly minor event would later prove significant in understanding Spain during the 20th century. The elephant, an animal from distant lands, became a symbol of the Second Spanish Republic and the communist movement, among other things. The royal hunt marked the beginning of a strange tale involving jealousy, passion, political maneuvering, and taxidermy.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 15

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
