Our Judges say:
A beautiful and mesmerising short film.Simon Taylor
Loved the water light effects on the walls, and loved the intentional use of 4:3 aspect ratio throughout. This is what adventure short films can do! Tell a story, look great, immerse us into an experience we may never have.Frit Tam
A short-documentary that unfolds in real time over the course of world-champion freediver Alice Hickson's record 7min30 breath-hold. As she fights the night for oxygen, we go on a visual journey into her mind's eye to understand how her life's story holds the key to understanding her ability to perform these amazing physical and psychological feats.
