"The Sea" is a new environmental strand within IberoDocs, bringing together four powerful short films by women filmmakers that reflect on our complex relationship with the ocean and coastal life.
Our journey begins with Hello Sea! by María Goya Barquet, a poetic and personal documentary that explores what the sea is, for a person who has never seen it. With Blow! by Neus Ballús, poetry is merged with reality, as we follow a research team and the singing of the whales. The animated lines of Percebes by Laura Gonçalves carry us to the Portuguese coast and the social and ecological cycles surrounding one of the ocean’s most prized delicacies, while Spirits & Rocks: an Azorean Myth by Aylin Gökmen captures the deep emotional and geological tremors of life on a volcanic island.
Together, they form a resonant chorus—stories of memory, longing, survival, and transformation—each uniquely anchored by the voices and visions of women.
In collaboration with DocNomads. All films shown with HOH captions. Followed by Filmmaker Q&A (With BSL interpretation) & Live Music.
