Secrets Of Kimberley Teaser WCFF2023
Documentary, 01-Dec-2023
This is a look at a wild space from an angle rarely seen. It is a place lost in time. No towns, no roads, no people. At times it has a chilling sense of loneliness and silence.
A world without humans. At 424500 square kilometres it is bigger than Italy or Germany and has over 3000 uninhabited islands. It is the remote Kimberley coastline of Western Australia. Onboard the “Olivia J”, under the command of a veteran fisherman, a group of scientists and a photographer embark on a journey into one of Australia's least explored marine frontiers. What they find redefines their values and how they view the natural world. This film highlights the rare species of the region through amazing photography and describes the marine science being undertaken to improve our understanding of this incredible part of the world. From the mighty blow of a giant humpback whale to the crackles of armies of micro crabs feeding, this is a showcase of life great and small. Dir. Trevor Almeida
