Bloodlines at Sea (France) by David Munoz

16m
Bloodlines at Sea is an experimental film that unfolds as a sensory journey into the ocean depths. Drawing on underwater imagery, archival material, soundscapes, and poetic fragments, the film explores the invisible traces left by human actions upon marine environments, as well as the forms of appropriation and quiet violence that move through the living world. Pollutants, gases, and residues continue their drift, unsettling the fragile balance of the ocean. Moving between appearance and disappearance, the film creates a space that is at once visceral, spectral, and immersive, where the beauty of the seabed is shadowed by a persistent threat. The ocean becomes a site of memory, metamorphosis, and disturbance, shaped by forces that connect environmental damage with other forms of violence—social, historical, and deeply embodied. At the intersection of experimental cinema and artist film, Bloodlines at Sea offers less a narrative than a sensorial experience of contamination, resonance, and disquiet.
