Under the Ocean
This film and talk event offers a journey into the heart of the oceans through four films and a discussion to exchange perspectives, in the company of a film director and a marine scientist. A unique opportunity to reflect, from both scientific and artistic perspectives, on how cinema portrays the oceans, the challenges they face and the way we understand them.
In partnership with ISblue and the European University Institute of the Sea at the University of Brest (IUEM/UBO)
In the presence of director Nicolas Devienne and Manuelle Philippe, a research engineer in sustainability sciences at the IUEM
