Fifty humans set sail for 55 days at sea on an expedition to examine the final frontier in human discovery: the deep sea. The scientists on board have dedicated their careers to taxonomy, the science of naming and describing new species. Now with the impending introduction of deep-sea mining, they will attempt to categorize the sea’s remaining mysteries. However, this mission comes with an ethical conundrum; these creatures cannot survive once they are removed from the seabed. Filled with stunning underwater photography and a whimsical soundtrack, this playful and poetic essay dances between the wonder of this rarely seen landscape, the complicated past of scientific study, and an urgent looming threat to this delicate ecosystem. How Deep is Your Love is a dazzling feature debut from filmmaker Eleanor Mortimer (Territory, T/F 2016), a breathtakingly cinematic voyage into the unknown.
