In this episode, we feature a conversation with Venice Atienza about her film LAST DAYS AT SEA which was part of the Grand Angle section of Visions du Réel. LAST DAYS AT SEA follows Reyboy, a twelve-year-old boy living in an isolated fishing village in the Philippines where he grew up. Reyboy loves his village and the sea, but by the end of summer, he will have to leave to study in the city.At the heart of the film lies an environmental story of marine preservation, but one that is told ever so subtly through Reyboy's charming young eyes, and Venice’s contemplative narration.What’s most striking about the film is the tender relationship between Venice and Reyboy, who seem more like affectionate siblings than Director and Protagonist. LAST DAYS AT SEA is a beautiful piece of empathetic filmmaking, one that transports us to a dream-like existence.  - Teyama Alkamli, Filmmaker and Co-Curator of @docsinorbit
