Deep-sea biologists naming creatures nobody has seen before, racing the machinery built to mine the ground they live on.
Parks & nature
At Bertha DocHouse.
Eleanor Mortimer went out with a team whose work is finding, describing and naming animals from the deep sea floor, and filmed them doing it while the case for mining that floor was being made above them. Seventy per cent of the planet is down there and most of it has never been looked at; the film's argument is that naming a thing is the first step in being able to defend it.
The Q&A on 23 September has Mortimer with Eva Stewart and Belen Arias of the Natural History Museum, both of whom work on the census of what lives in the deep. The October screenings are the film on its own.
Q&A Wednesday 23 September; plain screenings 17 and 18 October
