Experiencing Interruptions?

Nearby Planet

A sequence of images and music mixed with faint sounds perceived in the depths of this wonderful environment. After "Dance Under The Sea" the director Antonio Maria Cortese proposes another small work of art to discover the underwater world in the depths of the Mediterranean Sea. A host planet of Earth, but as if it were light years away.

"The sea is like an autonomous, enormous planet, with its riches, its life and its "atmosphere". When we explore it, it is as if for a few minutes we feel like real astronauts. And to think that it's not that far away. .." (Antonio Maria Cortese)
