CIMASUB 2024 reaches its culmination on 23 November with a third session starting at 19:00h. at the Teatro Principal, with free admission, which promises to thrill spectators before the awaited awards ceremony. This final session takes us by the hand through some of the world's most impressive seascapes, while reminding us of the urgent need for conservation.
We begin with Olivier Bourgeois and Emma Josefina Pettersson's Red Alert on Corals, a four-minute short film that shines a spotlight on the crisis facing coral reefs globally. Filmed in Singapore, this documentary in collaboration with the IUCN Coral Specialist Group shows how climate change, destructive fishing and pollution are destroying one of the most vital ecosystems for marine life.
The next work is Raja Ampat. The last paradise, by David Galvañ Fernández, which has won the Golden Banister. This impressive four-minute short film transports us to the crystal clear waters of Raja Ampat, in Indonesia, where coral reefs are teeming with life. A visual reminder of what we stand to lose if we don't take action to protect these unique ecosystems.
One of the most inspiring works in this session is Pepe Brix's A Truly Plastic Neutral Fishery, winner of the ORAIN GIPUZKOA Award for its environmentally conscious message. In six minutes, this documentary chronicles the journey of the Azores fishing fleet on its mission to become the first plastic neutral fishery. Through innovative fishing techniques and a committed approach to sustainability, this film shows how a fishing community can make a difference and be a beacon of hope for a more sustainable future.
Alfred Schaschl's Magic of the Macroverse, winner of the Golden Banister in the short film category, offers an intimate look at the hidden wonders of the ocean. With a poetic narrative and dazzling underwater images filmed in the Philippines, this short film explores the deep connection between humans and the ocean, reminding us to protect our blue planet.
The longest documentary in this session is Nika - The pilot whale, by Felipe Ravina and José Hernandez, which has been awarded the Golden Banner. This 29-minute work narrates the relationship between the protagonist and a pilot whale in the Canary Islands, and how this encounter awakens in him a new awareness of the need to protect Tenerife's biodiversity. It also addresses the overexploitation of the island and a cry for more sustainable development.
