GalaxSea: A Voyage into the Bioluminescent Night

Itzel-Marine Gourmelon
 

Imagine a dark night in Coastal Maine where a galaxy of glowing organisms teaches a young woman to move beyond her fears. A collaborative group of artists and storytellers are creating a short film, “GalaxSea: A Voyage into the Bioluminescent Night,” telling the story of a daydreaming teenager, led by a sea monster, to venture into a sea kayak on dark water. It builds to the final moment where — after becoming overwhelmed by fear and monsters of her own imagination — she connects with reality to reveal a wondrous world of bioluminescent sea creatures, fireflies, and a star-studded night. Mixing genres of a surrealist sci-fi film mixed with documentary, the film's premiere will be on the docks of Castine harbor, in collaboration with the Maine Maritime Academy, to project the film on the schooner Bowdoin's majestic sails.
