Whale Fall
When a whale dies, its body can sustain an entire microcosm of an ecosystem for up to seven years in a poetic death-life loop…
Director-animator duo Sharon Shattuk and Flora Lichtman, better known as Sweet Fern Productions, collaborated with Radiolab’s own Lynn Levy on Whale Fall — an equally poetic and absolutely stunning paper-cutout stop-motion animation about the afterlife of a whale.
This film is showing as part of the San Francisco Ocean Film Festival, which is touring Australia in March. I’m going! Here’s the link for info and tickets: http://www.oceanfilmfestivalaustralia.com.au/
