FILM PROGRAMME

 

Ice Maiden 
62 minutes

Adventurer Lisa Blair is aiming to become the first woman to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around Antarctica. When unexpected and life-threatening weather conditions cause catastrophe, Lisa needs to dig into every ounce of courage, determination and self-belief to not only finish the journey, but survive in the most dangerous waters on the planet.

 

The Whale Song

Delve into the enchanting world of humpback whales and their remarkable ability to communicate through song. Narrated by renowned marine biologist Nan Hauser, we also join DJ Sam Feldt, who demonstrates the synergy between nature and art by using whale song to create a dance floor hit. A visually stunning short film celebrating the fusion of music and nature.

 

The Call of the Cold

Three athletes embark on a multi-sport adventure in Iceland, to explore ‘water’ in its many forms. From surfing wild waves, to climbing icebergs, to free diving beneath the icy surface, they chase the fine line between frozen and liquid water.

 

Tess Felix: Portrait of an Artist

California-based artist Tess Felix uses plastic debris to create mosaic portraits as a vibrant response to the perilous state of our oceans. Through the forgotten and unusual remnants of everyday life, Tess uses art to speak of the places, people and ocean that she loves.

 

The Call
12 minutes

Hawaiian photographer and surfer Mike Coots has a deep bond with the ocean, until a harrowing shark attack alters the course of his life. Turning fate into purpose, Mike uses his camera to capture the grace and majesty of sharks, sharing their story to give back to the ocean in his own way.

 

Metropolis

Plunge into the depths of the ocean's most vibrant ecosystem. This mesmerising short film takes a light-hearted look at the daily lives of the inhabitants of ‘Reef City’, from the morning rituals of the emperor angelfish to the nocturnal hunts of the colourful wunderpus.
