Seaweed Stories
Directed by Jake Sumner
Sunday, June 8, 12:30 pm CINEMA+
Free, first come, first served
Narrated by Forest Whitaker, Seaweed Stories is a vibrant and global look at the wonders of seaweed, and some of the extraordinary stories and characters whose lives have been entangled by this often-overlooked marine organism which may hold answers to some of humanity’s biggest challenges. Sumner’s film includes insights from a Silicon Valley startup creating plastic alternatives from macroalgae, to the Indigenous Shinnecock Kelp Farmers using seaweed to prove their sovereign right to coastal land, and a scientist in South Korea supporting seaweeds’ sexual reproduction to create new species that can withstand the effects of a changing climate. 2024, Indonesia/South Korea/U.S., DCP, in English and Korean with English subtitles, 30 minutes.
