OCEANIA: Encounters at the Edge
Synopsis
OCEANIA is an immersive journey into the fragile yet beautiful connections we humans have to one another and the planet. Focusing on the filmmaker’s inner voice and her evolving relationships to a community living at the ocean’s edge - on an island predicted to be uninhabitable due to sea level rise by 2030 - OCEANIA spans opposite sides of the Pacific Ocean in search of what ties our seemingly fragmented histories, disparate experiences and fates together.
