CIMASUB 2024 is holding its second film session on 22 November at 19:00h. at the Teatro Principal, with a varied selection of short films and documentaries that invite us to explore the wonders of the ocean, while at the same time confronting us with the environmental threats that endanger its balance. Tickets are free and can be collected at the box office.
The session begins with the short film A Dragon's Dance, by Australian filmmaker Dean Spraakman. In just five minutes, this work takes us to the mysterious waters of southern Australia, where the leafy sea dragon, a unique and elegant creature, stars in a fascinating life cycle.
Next, Juan Carlos García Carrillo's Equilibrium: The Ocean's Hidden Balance takes us into the seas of the Mediterranean and the Maldives. This four-minute short film not only highlights the importance of the ocean in regulating the earth's climate, but also warns of the serious dangers it faces due to pollution and climate change.
Anima Oceani, directed by Rafael Herrero Massieu and filmed in the Canary Islands, is another of the gems of this session. With a running time of three minutes, this musical short film, awarded the Silver Banister, is an ode to the depths of the ocean. Through a play of lights, shadows and enveloping sounds, Herrero immerses us in a parallel world, where the beauty and mystery of the ocean are revealed before our eyes.
One of the highlights of the session comes with Cíes Islands: Threatened Biodiversity, a five-minute short film directed by José Irisarri Castro. This work focuses on the disappearance of the lobster from Galician waters and the urgent need to create a Marine Protected Area (MPA) in the Cíes Islands to save the region's biodiversity. Through powerful images, Irisarri aims to raise public awareness of the human impact on these ecosystems and the importance of protecting them before it is too late.
Memories of an Extincting Kind, directed by Elza Grimm, is one of the most innovative short films of the session. In ten minutes, this 3D animated work transports us to a dystopia in which the last white fish in a dying lake desperately seeks a mate. The film, which won a special mention for best animation, is a metaphor for the fragility of life on a rapidly changing planet.
The session also includes the short film Heart of the Sea, by Bermudian filmmaker Shireen Rahimi. This ten-minute work, which won the Orain Gipuzkoa award for best female work, connects Bermuda's past and present through the underwater wrecks teeming with life and the emblematic Gombey dance, a cultural ritual that reflects the diversity and resilience of the Bermudian community.
Another notable work in this session is Leandro Blanco's Sharks, a powerful seven-minute short film that opens our eyes to the commercial exploitation of sharks. Filmed in various locations around the world, this work shows the devastating impact that mass fishing and the trade in shark products have on marine ecosystems.
The short film Momentos, directed by José Carlos Rando Lara and filmed in Málaga and Granada, closes this session on a note of contemplation. In just four minutes, this short film captures the serenity and magic of the sea, inviting the viewer to enjoy the unique moments that the ocean gives us.
Finally, the session culminates with the documentary Islas Canarias, Arrecifes de Lava, by Rafael Herrero Massieu, a 53-minute work that transports us to the volcanic depths of the Canary Islands archipelago. This documentary, awarded the Silver Banner in the documentary category, explores the secrets of lava reefs and their unique biodiversity. This documentary is a celebration of the life that flourishes in one of the most extreme ecosystems on the planet, and a call for the conservation of these fragile and surprising landscapes.
