In French Polynesia, there is a place where every year, thousands of groupers gather in secret followed by hundreds of sharks… The photographer, diver and biologist Laurent Ballesta, with his team, wanted to better understand what motivates these fish to wait until the exact day of the full moon to spawn all at once! With the help of researchers from the CNRS of Moorea, they dived and conducted numerous experiments to study and witness this unique phenomenon. Taking advantage of this period of incredible richness, Laurent Ballesta did a record dive of 24 hours at over 20 meters.
Within the last half century, our agriculture and food has changed more than it has changed before in several thousand years. New technologies and scientific ingenuity have given rise to genetically modified organisms (GMO) and other novel foods. Some people have raised concerns about the safety of GMOs in our food supply, given their incredible dominance in the majority of our diet. Traditional, organic farmers, have consistently been under attack by large corporate farming interests, who seek to dominate the food industry and run family farms out of business. This film looks at our current food system as well as a variety of smaller, organic options available to consumers who want to support sustainable farming methods.
This multi-faceted documentary about “remote sex work” shows a wide variety of aspects and honest self-reflections about working as a sex worker. Above all, the situation of sitting alone in front of the camera or computer and acting in a situation that is both safe and completely isolated is portrayed in a credible and touching way by the protagonists. The pressure of earning money, the stigma of sex work, but also the peculiarity of doing this job - thanks to the internet - practically in your own bedroom, is described first-hand and finally gives these likeable sex workers a voice.
