Closing film - A Life Illuminated

CineGlobe 2026 — Closing film and discussion : “A life illuminated”
Come and enjoy “A life illuminated”, the story of biologist Dr. Edie Widder who seeks to unveil bioluminescence, a phenomenon that allows life to communicate in the darkness of the ocean’s depths.

Through her research, Dr Widder has transformed our understanding of the deepest parts of the sea: once perceived as a dark, empty voids, these places are now known to be worlds full of life and light.

Now, Dr Widder embarks on a daring expedition: a descent down one kilometre beneath the ocean’s surface in a quest for discovery. Blending cinematic footage from her journey with never-before-seen archives, the film captures Edie’s mission to reveal the profound beauty of bioluminescence, while emphasising the urgent need to protect the fragile ecosystems of the deep sea.

Followed by a discussion “Transitioning to an Ocean-Conscious Future” to appreciate the unseen underwater world around us.
