Aphotic Zone (2022)

Directed by: Emilija Skarnulyte

Country: Italy/Lithuania

Genre: Documentary

Plot:

An otherworldy exploration of the portions of the ocean where sunlight doesn’t reach - shown without narration in this documentary short.

Reasons to watch:

Nothing like the deep sea to make you feel like you’re looking at aliens on your own planet. Hypnotizing, ambiently disturbing, futuristic, and strangely cosmic, the unbelievable images of Aphotic Zone are a portal through time to the biomes that have been here far before us, and a future where they may cease to exist.
