The deep breath / Le souffle long : a film about free divers and manta rays
<p><br />
This is a 15-minute documentary shoot for short film festivals with an ecological and societal focus.</p>
<p>I will concretize 6 months of immersion in this belgium freediving group by filming them in real conditions on the boat and under water, in their meeting with manta rays.</p>
<p>The money will be used to cover the shooting during these 8 days aboard the boat.</p>
<p>What interests me in particular is the almost spiritual aspect of apnea. A "freediver" is in search of himself, which he meets within his limits. People who practice apnea seek and often find themselves, through a confrontation with their own inner limits that immersion in water - this "world of silence" - reveals. This search for oneself is the heart of my work of realization: what pushes these people to go under water, in apnea, with manta rays? These life courses, whose follow-up is already started thanks to individual interviews, will be enhanced by the collective dimension of the group, on the boat.</p>
<p>Added to this is the ecological dimension of the project: the manta rays are now classified as vulnerable by the UCIN, because of Chinese overfishing (the gills of these are supposed to have the therapeutic virtues of purification).</p>

Allocation of funds
<p>The collection will cover filming accessories (400€), material insurance (500€) and repatriation (200€), as well as airline tickets (1000€) and living expenses on the boat (1400€).</p>
<p>In case I get 1000 euros more, I can get a waterproof box for my professionnal video camera, instead of the Gopros.</p>
<p>With 1000 eur more, I can shoot underwater with the full scuba dive equipment, instead of shooting in apnea : I could then get much longer under water shots.</p>
