The Knowing

2024 · 3 min

A hushed, beautiful three-minute plunge into ocean light that leaves you quietly awed and a little worried for what's being lost.

Overview
Three-time Academy Award-winning cinematographer Emmanuel “Chivo” Lubezki and conservation photographers Cristina Mittermeier and Paul Nicklen, co-founders of SeaLegacy, traveled to Western Australia with Sony’s new digital cinema camera, the BURANO, to capture footage of the endangered Southern Right Whale and to create an important film on the ocean and the future of the planet.
