Overview

Ode is a cameraless animation made from handmade macroalgae celluloid. Developed with CSIRO and marine scientists, it uses contact printing, botanicollage, and seaweed bio-sonification to explore post-petrochemical cinema. Lasting 365 seconds, the film offers an ocean-responsive meditation on deep time, material intelligence, and more-than-human collaboration.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A haunting six-minute meditation created from living seaweed, where the boundaries between cinema, biology, and sound dissolve into something entirely new. Watching it feels like witnessing the ocean think.
