Ocean Guardians

Film Synopsis

Ocean Guardians, a film by Pacific Whale Foundation created by PWF documentary filmmaker Selket Kaufman. This 20-minute film documents the journey of humpback whales as they migrate between Alaska and Hawai‘i and the efforts of the Pacific Whale Foundation to save them from extinction. In the face of emerging threats, the organization employs research, education, and conservation methods as it races against time to restore and sustain the delicate balance between humankind and marine life.

Director Statement

Visionary creates grassroots social enterprise to prevent whale extinction. Now the organization races against time to battle new threats using research, education and conservation methods to help sustain a delicate balance between humans and marine life.

I invite you to enjoy my latest film Ocean Guardians, a story about an organization that is very dear to my heart, Pacific Whale Foundation. Started in the 1980 by late founder Greg Kaufman with a mission to protect the ocean through science and advocacy. The film talks about the struggles and accomplishments within the last 42 years as well as a strong look into the future. This story is narrated by “Ohana” a first-time mother humpback whale preparing for her journey back to the feeding grounds of Alaska with her new calf. Unity, reconnecting with knowledge from our elders and responsibility are some of the themes. I hope to inspire viewers to feel empowered to do their part for our ocean home and through that collaboration in this empowerment will find our path to a bigger bluer future.

Healing Land, Healing People

Film Synopsis

Healing Land, Healing People is a documentary short filmed entirely on the islands of Maui and Moloka’i during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. In Hawaiian culture, each person has the kuleana (responsibility) to malama (care for) ʻāina (land). As Covid-19 brought Maui County’s tourism industry to a halt and many faced the hardships of unemployment, more than 70 residents experienced a unique opportunity to engage in nature-based restoration projects that provided paychecks and job skills training — and reinvigorated deep and meaningful connections to the ʻāina, the power of kuleana and their own sense of purpose.

Director Statement

Directors’ Statement: In order to care for our ocean, we must malama ‘aina — care for the land, as many problems facing our ocean environment originate there. During Covid-19, when so many residents were suddenly unemployed, Maui Nui Marine Resource Council gratefully worked with the Maui CARES program to provide seven local conservation nonprofits with needed labor to support stewardship of the lands of Maui Nui, including cultural landscapes, natural resources and local biocultural diversity. More than 70 Maui County residents received paychecks through this program, participating in and learning about resource management, applicable technology and cultural restoration, and receiving training in traditional Hawaiian ecological knowledge, Hawaiian values and practices. The work was often physically difficult and under challenging conditions. Yet, the participants in this program received more than paychecks; they experienced the deep satisfaction of reconnecting to the ‘aina and sharing traditional knowledge and values. We are grateful to the talented crew at Inflatable Film, including LEAH WARSHAWSKI (Producer/ Director); TODD SOLIDAY (Director/Camera and Editor) and ERIC FRITH (Editor) for beautifully capturing this unique period when the global pandemic shut down Hawaii but opened up an opportunity for local residents to step up and do good for the land and the ocean.

Entangled

Film Synopsis

Entangled chronicles the efforts to protect North Atlantic right whales from extinction, the impacts of those efforts on the lobster industry, and how the National Marine Fisheries Service has struggled to balance the vying interests. There are now estimated to be about 350 right whales, making them among the planet’s most endangered species. The main threat to their survival, scientists say: millions of lobster lines that stretch from New England up through Atlantic Canada, standard gear for North America’s most valuable fishery. Exacerbating that threat is climate change, which has sparked a collapse in the whale’s food supply in the warming waters of the Gulf of Maine, forcing them to search for food in areas where they had rarely been seen before. As a result, their population has been plummeting. In recent years, deaths of right whales have spiked while births have fallen sharply. In 2018, no calves were born — an unprecedented observation — while the previous year, a record 17 were found dead. In 2019, 10 right whales died, the second most ever recorded. NOAA officials say the population can’t sustain more than a single premature death a year. At the current rate of decline, scientists say the whales could go extinct within 20 years. Now, under pressure from lawsuits by environmental advocates to reduce right whale deaths, the federal government has been considering controversial regulations that pit the region’s politically powerful lobstermen against scientists and environmental advocates trying to save the whales. The proposed regulations, which could reduce lobster lines by half in much of the Gulf of Maine and harm the livelihoods of many lobstermen, has sparked a political backlash. The future of the iconic species hangs in the balance. https://entangled-film.com/

Director Statement

Director Statement David Abel: In 2019, a landmark report by the United Nations found that more than a million species are at risk of extinction by the end of the century.

That number was overwhelming and hard to comprehend. After writing a story about the report for The Boston Globe, where the director works as an environmental reporter, he began to think about how to tell a story about such a vital but difficult-to-fathom statistic.

David Abel’s work — including his previous films “Sacred Cod” and “Lobster War” — has focused on stories that reflect how climate change is not some distant, abstract threat, but one that’s having an impact on people’s lives today.

This was an opportunity to tell a similar story, one that touched on how climate change has produced a surge in extinctions. The way to do that, he thought, was by telling the story one iconic species, which happens to be among the world’s most endangered marine mammals.

From there, Abel sought and obtained a rare permit to shoot North Atlantic right whales from NOAA, and he went on to spend the following year shooting from the waters off Northern Florida where the whales give birth to the Gulf of St. Lawrence in Canada, where many of the whales have died in recent years.

He interviewed more than a hundred people for the film, including scientists, fishermen, regulators, and many others. The film has raised awareness about the plight of right whales, the dangers of mass extinction, and the impact of regulations to protect endangered species on the livelihoods of many people. It has also prodded state and federal regulators to take action to protect the whales.

This Mortal Plastik

Film Synopsis

This Mortal Plastik: A personal dive into the world’s most impersonal substance: plastics. Amid the pandemic lockdown, a bereaved mother unfolds a surprising journey within and across oceans to understand the contemporary landscape of single-use synthetics. From the noble intentions behind its invention to scales of havoc it has wrought, this experimental documentary brings together art, history, science, and the everyday. Playfully crafted with hand-drawn illustrations and poetic interludes, this evocative “pause between deep time and no time” will change how you think about this ordinary “thing without thingness.”

Director Statement

Jess Irish Director Statement: I’m honored to be a part of the World Whale Film Festival, as whales are magical in their uniqueness as mammals. They are the literal heart in my film, and present us with the opportunity to connect to a world “without borders” and also to the deep mysteries of time, as they preceded us by millions of years. I believe this festival will offer a critical spotlight on the beauty, importance and challenges that face these majestic migrants.

Breathe

Film Synopsis

I made this film as a call to protect the OCEAN. This film was inspired from my expeditions to some of the Ocean’s most bountiful ecosystems and that I was so deeply moved witnessing firsthand the devastation of human exploitation in the Oceans.

It is thought that we have lost a staggering 50% of our Marine Species in the last 50 years and 50% of All Coral Reefs in the last 30 years. I owe my life to the Ocean and so do you because she is our life support system. It wasn’t until I almost drowned in the Ocean a few years ago that I fully understood the life giving force that the Ocean holds for all of us.

All these experiences have inspired me to dedicate my life to Ocean Conservation. In all this time I realize that we will only make an impact if we all unite. LET’S ALL JOIN THE STAND TO PROTECT THE OCEAN.

Director Statement

This film is based on my story of how an experience that almost took my life in the Ocean led me to my life long purpose in protecting it. When we BREATHE, we are able to BREATHE because of the Ocean. We will continue to be able to breathe for the rest of our lives because of her …

Our Ocean is our Life Support System. It wasn’t until I almost drowned in the Ocean that I fully understood the life giving force that the ocean holds.

When I was allowed back to the surface and into my body, this is the message I was compelled to share.

Happy World Ocean Day Family.

Guardian

Film Synopsis

We invite you to enjoy this moving new single Guardian (by Award Winning Artist Samuel J and Nat Geo Film Maker Terry Lilley) for SEA SHEPHERD and in doing so support the world movement to protect our oceans. https://samuelj.bandcamp.com/track/guardian

The song Guardian from Samuel’s ALBUM INTO THE LIGHT was inspired by the artist’s strong passion for the oceans and burning concern having witnessed animal exploitation in his recent tours around the globe.

Samuel J partnered with the worlds largest Marine Conservation Society SEASHEPHERD to release this powerful song, in a campaign where half of the proceeds will be donated to Sea Shepherd and their tireless work to protect the oceans. https://samjmusic.com/conservation-work

Director Statement

Director’s Statement Samuel J: We invite you to enjoy this moving new single Guardian (by Award Winning Artist Samuel J and Nat Geo Film Maker Terry Lilley) for SEA SHEPHERD and in doing so support the world movement to protect our oceans.

Director’s Statement Terry Lilley: For over 20 years as a professional marine biologist living in Hawaii I have studied coral reefs and marine life in Hawaii and worldwide and produced a free underwater educational series for schools and TV that is posted up on my web page at www.underwater2web.com and YouTube at Underwater2web.

I have spent over 3,000 hours underwater with our whales, dolphins, sea turtles, sharks and marine life here in Hawaii and have come to know these creatures well. In 2015 I was filming an underwater series to document the negative effects of the US Navy near shore submarine activity on our marine life as many of our corals, whales and dolphin were dying from unknown causes.

While doing a scuba dive near a Navy warship in 2015 right offshore of Kauai North Shore I was electrocuted and almost died. At the same time a pod of pilot whales that was in the area also got electrocuted by the Navy underwater weapons testing. I came back to shore along with a dozen pilot whales and was medevaced to the hospital where my life was saved after heart surgery. My pilot whale friends died.

After this event I realized that I am the voice of these whales and I was kept alive to help them get back to a safe ocean home to live in and to educate the world about our amazing marine life with my underwater series. Since 2015 I have done thousands of dives and over 100 movies documenting the effects to our marine life due to military activity and doing my best to speak on behalf of my underwater ohana.

When I met musician Samuel J we knew instantly we had a similar mission in life and when he wrote the song Guardian I knew that the whales were protecting me, so I could protect them. We are each other’s “guardian” because we are inner connected and one being. I live, because they live.

My life is donated to sharing their story and lives with the hopes that humans will once again learn how important our connection is to the whales and other marine life that we share this amazing planet with, spinning through the galaxy.

The song Guardian from Samuels ALBUM INTO THE LIGHT was inspired by the artists strong passion for the oceans and burning concern having witnessed animal exploitation in his recent tours around the globe.

Samuel has partnered with the worlds largest Marine Conservation Society SEASHEPHERD to release this powerful song, in a campaign where half of the proceeds will be donated to Seashepherd and their tireless work to protect the oceans. Thank you. May the Guardians of this world always be with you.

My 25: The Ocean Between Us

Film Synopsis

MY 25: The Ocean Between Us – By the age of 6, I had already decided I was going to be a Marine Biologist but I never imagined that by the time I graduated I would be fighting to save the last of a species and documenting the end of an era. It became apparent that the changes that are occurring in our oceans are happening at a staggering rate and that in just my short lifetime, in just 25 years I have been able to observe a rapid decline in health and biodiversity. As a passionate diver that has always had an affinity with our oceans I set out to make this film to show the power of marine protected areas and show a younger generation it is not too late for our generation to make a genuine and lasting impact changing the future of our oceans for the better.

Director Statement

Inka Cresswell Director Statement: In addition to the science behind marine life, film has always been a great passion of mine. Sometimes telling someone why something is magnificent and needs to be protected isn’t enough, they need to be shown. Film creates a unique aid in storytelling, captivating moments that would otherwise go unseen allowing us to illustrate interactions between humans and nature, assisting in the education and inspiration of future marine biologists and conservationists.

After graduating with a degree in marine biology I decided to study a Masters in wildlife filmmaking so I could communicate important ocean conservation messages with a bigger audience highlighting some of the fantastic work marine biologists are doing around the world and sharing complex marine problems in a way that inspires and educates the general public.

This film was created as the final project in my master’s program. I hope you enjoy it.

Contrasts

Film Synopsis

Contrasts is a declaration of principles on freedom from captivity of marine species. It arises at the beginning of the pandemic, with the aim of generating empathy in the viewer about life in confinement.

All living beings have the right to freedom, and humans cannot claim the right to take freedom from other species or use them for business and human entertainment, and this is what Contrasts tries to sensitize people about.

Director Statement

Diector’s Statement Vanessa Prigollini: Since I was little I had a particular love for whales and dolphins, particularly for orca. I drew orcas all the time, with water colors and every weekend I wanted to go and see Keiko, which was an orca in captivity in Mexico City, where I was raised.
At that time, there was no information about the terrible effects of captivity in whales and dolphins.

Years went by, and as I grew up I realized how sad the look in his eyes was, like if he was dead in life. And then the movie Free Willy came, where Keiko was the star of the movie, and that’s when I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to help orcas and focused in education, as I believe it is KEY to save animals.

I never ever thought that I would end up writing, directing and producing a film in my life. But at the beginning of the pandemic, with the lock downs and while doing quarantine I felt a huge need to do a short film where humans would probably have more understanding of what animals go through when they are in captivity for their whole lives. And that´s when and how the inspiration to make this film started.

And fortunately, I counted with the support of people from many different parts of the world to do it. Which was for sure even more challenging with all the restrictions from the pandemic, but this is the result of a group of people putting their hearts in the right place. I´d like to mention that the whole team donated their time and work to make this possible, because Contrasts was made with educational purposes so it can reach as many people as possible.

The Power of Activism

Film Synopsis

‘You can get angry about it, or you can get active.’ Jordyn de Boer – Boomerang Bags Co-Founder. THE POWER OF ACTIVISM shines a positive new light on a group of young female activists who are risking it all to change the future thinking of governments and major companies. In true ‘David versus Goliath’ style, these inspirational scientists and conservationists challenge the thinking of out-dated practices that are contributing to climate change. In an emotional and revealing journey, these women have sacrificed everything to take action. Giving their work a new dimension, one of Australia’s top actuaries investigates their actions to calculate the financial value of each of their projects… and the results are astonishing. From sacred ground above Byron Bay to Antarctica, Indonesia and to Pakistan, the women apply their energies to shark conservation, factory farming and antibiotic resistance, indigenous practices, the fight against pollution and the subsequent environmental and human health impact these issues are having. THE POWER OF ACTIVISM moves beyond a critique of the world’s inaction on climate change, it celebrates the example set by this group of gutsy future-proofers… and actually puts a dollar value on the work they are doing.

Director Statement

Film Synopsis

A film following the masterful British wildlife painter David Miller. The film follows the realization of his childhood dream; to swim with and create paintings of blue sharks. The film has an upbeat conservation message portraying sharks in a new light, as the mesmeric beautiful and mostly harmless creatures that they are and why they need our protection.

Director’s Statement

Director Statement Robin Fisher: I submitted my film ‘Painted Blue’ to the World Whale Film Festival because of their focus on inspiring environmental stewardship. They work they do educating people about the marine realm and promoting ethical ecotourism experience is pioneering and of paramount importance. I believe in order to protect the natural world, people need to love it, because people protect what they love. I also believe that the best way to make people fall in love with the ocean is to experience it for themselves and learn the vital connection the ocean and its inhabitants have to us. In the modern day and age, I think we feel far removed from nature but the reality is we depend on it greatly. And so I think it is through the work of the World Whale Film Festival and the Pacific Whale Foundation that this important message is spread.

Painted Stories From The Salish Sea: Eba and the Orcas

Film Synopsis

“You can’t make this story up…a pound dog that is out saving killer whales.” Chris Morgan, wildlife ecologist, conservationist, filmmaker and host of the podcast THE WILD, takes us on a research vessel in the San Juan Islands to witness Eba, an orca-scat-sniffing dog. The scat tells the story of the challenges the orcas are facing—from toxicity and stress levels to reproductive health and more. Chris uncovers some brilliant work that has already been done to help orcas and what you can do to help. “We know what we need to do and it’s actually not that huge…Nature is resilient, humans are resilient, and the whales are resilient…We can see this population recover and rebound and we have a responsibility to do it.” – Deborah A. Giles, PhD, Wild Orca

Director’s Statement

“A pound dog that is out saving killer whales.” That’s Eba. Eba is a rescue dog that can track Orcas through the Salish Sea by smelling their poo. Scientists like Dr. Deborah Giles collects these samples to learn about the endangered whales reproductive health, microplastics, nutritional health, and stress levels. This is the final movie in the three-part series “Stories from the Salish Sea”. These films were created by Soulcraft Allstars in partnership with Seattle Aquarium, Chris Morgan Wldlife (host of THE WILD podcast, BBC, Nature Channel, PBS), and the James M. Lea Foundation

The Plastic Hike

Film Synopsis

In the summer of 2020 the German biologist Andreas Noe hiked the entire coast of Portugal. His purpose was to raise awareness to the single use plastic that enters the ocean, polluting and killing marine life. Over the trek of 1000km we met more than 100 NGO’s and environmentalists that shared their experiences, ideas, problems and solutions. The Plastic Hike is an empowering tool for the community to get together and bring the urgently needed change to our consumption habits, lifestyles and connection with the ocean.

Director Statement

We believe our documentary portraits a call to action. The main focus is in our personal relationship with the Planet and how we consume its resources in various ways. The trash is there to show us that we are consuming at a rate that is faster than the solutions needed to tackle that waste.

The Plastic Hike shows us a journey of one person that inspires many others, promoting the sharing of experiences, ideas and solutions. Ultimately, the goal is to empower us as individuals. All acts matter!

The World Whale Film Festival is one important way to spread this message, wishing for a ripple effect in many corners of our beautiful blue planet.

Our imaginary character in the movie is a Whale that keeps singing and breathing in the background sounds, and was also animated using the microplastics picked up on this journey along the coast of Portugal.

The typeface was also done using these microplastics and is available for download.
The music was performed almost entirely using an instrument made out of some of the collected trash. All of the documentary was edited in refurbished computers and monitors that were going to trash.

Golden Fish, African Fish

Film Synopsis

The Casamance region in the South of Senegal is one of the last areas of traditional fishing in West Africa. Facing the growing menace of industrial fishing companies and overcoming very harsh working conditions, the fishermen of Casamance contribute to the food supply (our food safety) of many African countries. But for how long?

Director Statement

This film analyzes the recent evolutions of the smoked sardinella sector in Casamance through the point of view of workers operating in this sector (fishermen, cashiers, handlers, hullers, oven owners, smokers, traders). The fish processing sector has always generated many jobs in Senegal, attracts workers from all over West Africa and provides a steady supply of quality processed products, which are fundamental for the people of the African Continent.

But over the past decade, the development of international aquaculture has led to a new demand for wild fish meal, used to feed farmed fish and livestock, attracting the interest of many foreign investors. Russian, Chinese and Turkish factory boats operate freely and/or illegally offshore Morocco, Mauritania, The Gambia and Senegal causing distress among artisanal fishermen.

And now for 10 years, fishmeal factories have been created, settled all along the coast, close to the landing areas and ports, inducing additional pressure, a real looting, a diversion of the former product. reserved for our populations, and a loss of activity for the workers who live thanks to the fish landed on our beaches.

Film Synopsis

The Big Blue | Marine Ecosytem Diaries: This film captures the largest ecosystem on the planet in all its magnificent glory, exploring the thousands of species that call it home, from microscopic plankton to the largest animal in the world, the blue whale.

Whilst humans have explored just 5% of the ocean, this film delves into the vast impact that human activity is having on the health of the open ocean ecosystem, most notably, the effect of overfishing.

Film Synopsis

Episode 4 Stackpole Quay, South Wales Stackpole quay brings the series to an end. The small cove is situated a few miles south of Pembroke. The stony cove hidden amongst the cliffs of the Pembrokeshire coast is a site full of life and the finger like reefs protruding from the coastline provides unique topography. The reefs provide a home to many species along with the adjacent sand creating suitable habitat for many ambush species. The site also had a fair amount of litter, therefore we undertook an underwater clean to raise awareness of the local underwater clean up charity Neptunes Army of Rubbish Cleaners (NARC).

Director’s Statement

We set out to create the online bilingual Wales Best of the West series to showcase the incredible marine diversity that is found along our local coastline in Wales. As divers and underwater videographers, we have a passion for exploring the underwater world along with the diversity of marine habitats and species that can be found. However, many are unaware of how exciting and colourful the Welsh waters are and often have the vision of it being cold, dark and lacking in life. It’s changing this vision which we wanted to do and aimed to do to bring the marine world to the viewers in a way that takes the viewers on the journey to a few dive sites across the Welsh coast. During the dive at Stackpole Quay, we wanted to raise awareness of marine litter by carrying out a cleanup dive and showcasing the work that’s carried out by the volunteer group Neptunes Army of Rubbish Cleaners. A group who do great around the Welsh coast through underwater cleanups. We thought that the episode, along with the wider online series with it’s education element and linking to great conservation projects was an ideal fit for the World Whale Film Festival and its theme.
