Chasing Coral: The VR Experience

Director:

Institute History

  • 2017 Sundance Film Festival

Description

This remarkably sobering VR is the powerful result of Jeff Orlowski’s project of the same name in documentary competition, about the quest of a group of filmmakers and ocean scientists to provide visual proof of climate change. This exclusive underwater experience follows Zackary Rago, a passionate scuba diver and researcher, as he documented the unprecedented 2016 coral bleaching event at Lizard Island on the Great Barrier Reef off the coast of Australia.
