Eleanor Mortimer, 2025

Documentarian Eleanor Mortimer sets sail on a 55-day expedition with a team of biologists, following their work as they search the ocean depths for new species in territories that may soon be mined. With its stunning underwater photography and contemplative narration, the film captures the mystery and wonder of the deep against the backdrop of its potential destruction. As scientists battle not only the elements but also the forces of industry, we are challenged to consider our own relationship with the natural world—how deep is our love for a world we may never see, but which we risk losing forever?
