Participating in the CIMASUB International Underwater Film Series has been an enriching experience that has expanded not only my vision of the ocean, but also my commitment to its defence and conservation.
During the festival, I had the opportunity to connect with filmmakers and ocean lovers who share a similar passion for the preservation of our marine ecosystems.
Screenings of documentaries and short films about underwater life and the challenges it faces remind us of the fragility of these ecosystems and the urgency with which we must act.
The ocean is much more than a vast body of water, and through film and storytelling, we can raise awareness and mobilise communities to engage in concrete actions to protect our oceans.
Every story told and every image projected has the potential to transform perceptions and generate actions that benefit our planet.
Let's continue to do our bit, with the power of art and passion for the sea!
