Stunning, immersive cinematography showcases the wonder of life under the seas
The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “Ocean with David Attenborough” showing June 20-26 at the Mary D. Fisher and Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatres.
“Ocean with David Attenborough” takes viewers on a breathtaking journey showing there is nowhere more vital for our survival, more full of life, wonder or surprise, than the ocean.
The celebrated broadcaster and filmmaker reveals how his lifetime has coincided with the great age of ocean discovery. Through spectacular sequences featuring coral reefs, kelp forests and the open ocean, Attenborough shares why a healthy ocean keeps the entire planet stable and flourishing.
Stunning, immersive cinematography showcases the wonder of life under the seas and exposes the realities and challenges facing our ocean as never-before-seen, from destructive fishing techniques to mass coral reef bleaching. Yet the story is one of optimism, with Attenborough pointing to inspirational stories from around the world to deliver his greatest message: the ocean can recover to a glory beyond anything anyone alive has ever seen.
Following the film, screening exclusively in cinemas, “A Deeper Dive with David Attenborough” takes audiences behind the scenes with additional footage and interviews on the making of “Ocean”.
