Leviathan
One of the most highly anticipated films of the year, from the directors of Sweetgrass and Foreign Parts, Leviathan is a thrilling, immersive documentary that takes you deep inside the dangerous world of commercial fishing.
Dogwoof will release this stunning documentary on 29 November 2013 - an unique film that requires viewing on the big screen, Leviathan is a visceral experience not soon forgotten.
Set aboard a hulking fishing vessel as it navigates the treacherous North Atlantic waves off the New England coast - the very waters that once inspired Moby Dick - the film captures the harsh, unforgiving world of the fishermen in brutal, yet beautiful detail.
Filmmakers Lucien Castaing-Taylor (Sweetgrass) and Véréna Paravel (Foreign Parts) chose to use the sheer power of nature - the waves, wind, driving rain - to illustrate the brutality of modern fishing practice.
Using an arsenal of cameras fixed to every part of the ship including: the deck, the bow and even the crewmembers, Leviathan creates an immersive, viceral viewing experience that puts the audience right on the deck with the blood, guts, water, wind, and crew.
