Coral Ghosts Dancing On Icebergs
1 x 90’, 2021, 4K
Coral Ghosts combines a hundred-years
of underwater photography with the
timely quest of Dr. Tom Goreau, a marine
biologist who inherited the family legacy
of protecting the world’s coral reefs at a
time when they have never faced greater
threats. Told through intimate, never seen
before archival film and photographs, and
stunning underwater photography, this
character driven film brings viewers from a
dusty attic in Cambridge to the shores of
Jamaica, Australia, Bikini Atoll and Bali on
a “Mad” Scientist’s journey to protect the
coral that his father died documenting.

The Edge Of Existence
1 x 90’, 2020, HD
‘The Edge of Existence’ tells the story of
human-wildlife conflict in the Western
Corridor of the Serengeti, Africa. Human-
wildlife conflict is a global issue that
has reached crisis levels, threatening
the survival of both humans and wild
animals. Communities are living in closer
proximity to wildlife than ever before. But
due to expanding human development,
deforestation, and depletion of natural
resources, the wilderness areas have
started to disappear. See through the eyes
of the people who live in the Serengeti,
and the daily challenges they face as they
struggle to co-exist with Africa’s Wildlife.

expose and explore complex and often
taboo questions as three generations of

wish to end her life, on her own terms.

1 x 90’, 2019, 4K
In 2018 Kiwi choreographer Corey Baker
made history when he filmed a world first;
a dance film to highlight the impact of
climate change on Antarctica. ‘Dancing on
Icebergs’ chronicles the build up to the trip;
preparation and delays, arrival and survival
training, location scouting, staging and
filming of the dance, successes and failures
and sheer human courage and endeavour
as the days tick away to their scheduled
departure. Failure to complete the film in
time would have seen the entire project fall
apart, something that was always front of
mind for Corey and crew.
