AUSTRALIA'S MARINE WORLD explores the underwater wildlife of the Great Barrier Reef and Great Southern Ocean.
BENEATH THE BLUE shows the little known beauty and diversity of the underwater marine life around Sydney Harbour.
Episode one in a two part series is 'Salty Love'. Nothing it seems stimulates reproductive urges like the ongoing threat of annihilation. Sea water is one vast womb, with the seeds of conception carried on every tide. Marine creatures have abandoned all constraints and spawn like there's no tomorrow. 'Salty Love' focuses on these under sea relationships. Episode two is 'The Living Graveyard'. Shipwrecks lace the floor of seabeds around the world. They lie in their watery tombs, but some are beacons of life donated by man to create an artificial reef at the bottom of the sea floor. 'The Living Graveyard' explores the wrecks of The President Coolidge (off the coast of Vanuatu) The Batavia (amongst the Abrohlos Islands), and The Yongala (off the east coast of Australia).
Marc Hewson has emerged from the decidedly non-design orientated Australian culture to dominate international industrial design. His recipe is a mix of ambitious style and talent brought to light in interviews with him, his family, teachers, admirers and critics.
A voyage through the moods and moments of the Great Barrier Reef. CORAL SEA DREAMING reveals the reef on its own terms with a new approach to natural history. No narration is used, rather a beautiful soundtrack by composer Tania Rose guides the viewer on an extraordinary aesthetic journey.
Crown of Thorns Starfish have been a source of almost continual controversy on the Great Barrier Reef for the last 15 years. Major peril or cyclical phenomena? That's what scientists have been discussing, arguing and indeed procrastinating about in laboratories and at conferences all over the world. Meanwhile, the Australian Government has stepped back, hoping and wanting to believe that the cheapest option (ie. to let nature run its course) is the correct one. But as one scientist puts it, 'if you put two scientists in one room you'll end up with three questions!'
Explores the surreal world of unearthly beauty on Australia's Great Barrier Reef in both microscopic detail and in magnificent sweeping vistas. Over 24 hours we move from the quiet of dappled dawn to the languid mood of midday, from the vigorous feeding activity of afternoon to the mystery and danger of nightfall. Along the way we follow an intriguing cast of 'characters' from sharks, giant clams, octopus, manta rays and brilliantly coloured fish, to shrimp and microscopic algae. EYE ON THE REEF is a journey through 24 hours of underwater happenings with an introduction to some of the most bizarre underwater creatures. You'll see their feeding habits, their need for camouflage and defence, battles for territory and genes, the roles played by colour and vision and the effects of tides and weather changes. Filmed by David Hannan, who has achieved worldwide acclaim for his superb underwater footage, EYE ON THE REEF uses unique techniques to deliver full screen images of very small subjects with stunning depth of field.
Multi award-winning filmmaker, David Hannan, takes you on a spectacular visual odyssey over, under and through some of his favourite Australian environments. Journey through the teeming diversity of the tropical wetlands, fly over the magnificent Bungle Bungle Ranges and take in an underwater ballet with some Sea Lions in the sparkling waters of Western Australia. Travel along rugged coastlines, experience shimmering sunsets and meet some surprising Aussie animals.
Four boys get lost in the forest, and discover, when they return home, that they have returned to an alternate world identical to theirs except for one startling difference – they were never born.
When Luke, a tech-nerd, arrives for his first day at Bremin High all appears to be tiresomely ordinary, but what he doesn’t know is that Bremin is located at the convergence of magical ley lines and that someone has been awaiting his arrival to put together a new gang of Nowhere Boys. Three have already been identified: Heath, the school’s ‘bad boy’, is Fire; high achiever and track athlete Niyanta is Earth; and musical theatre geek Jesse is Air. Unbeknown to him Luke is the fourth element –Water. Coinciding with Luke’s arrival, people start disappearing, until one morning Luke, Heath, Niyanta and Jesse – discover they are the last four people in the universe, and they have been thrust together into a terrifying empty wasteland.
The seas of our world are massive, heaving, living, biomasses connecting life on our planet. It was here millions of years ago that life on earth began. Little has changed in those millions of years. Coral reefs are the marine equivalents to Time Square, Piccadilly Circus or Kings Cross; an aquatic metropolis where life forms numbering hundreds of thousands congregate, take nourishment and propagate, away form the hostile turbulence of the outer ocean. Marine diversity is staggering; from the microscopic to the gargantuan, comical to the sheer terrifying, plain ugly to the exquisitely beautiful. WATERY CREATURES uses the latest film techniques including the Panavision Frazier lens system that will transport you beneath the surface of the waves, down to the richest and most intriguing environment known and unknown to man.
The Wetlands of Aurukun are on the western side of Cape York Peninsula. This documentary looks at an Aboriginal ranger training scheme in this spectacular wetland area. This training program focused on monitoring the yearly movements of wetland waterbirds such as Jabiru, Spoonbill, Magpie Goose and the Green Pygmy Goose.
