This short documentary explores the overall mission for FaSt-SWOT and its importance to the public and the scientific community as well as life on board an oceanographic institution amid long shifts and bad weather.

Renowned for its crystal-clear waters and abundant underwater caves, Menorca is a paradise for a style of apnea that focuses more on connection with the natural world than going to greater and greater depths.

'Follow the Light' brings together freedivers Juanma Molleja and Valeria Olives, boat captain Asier Garmendia and climate journalist Laura Secorun for a week-long sailing and apnea expedition across the Mediterranean island.

Once an athlete has reached the height of their sport, they must ask the question: what now? For Miquel Sunyer, who completed the Triple Crown of ocean swimming, including crossing the English Channel, the answer is to return home and pay back what the ocean has given him.

After years traveling the world completing grueling ocean swimming challenges, Sunyer has returned to his home in Cataluña, Spain. He dedicates his life to bringing others into the ocean so that they may develop a relationship with the sea, and eventually begin to care for it.

Invented in the early 1900s in the area around Barcelona, the patí vela – a wooden, hand-made catamaran without a rudder – is experiencing a renaissance of renewed interest. Their adrenaline-pumping high speeds, need to use bodyweight for maneuvering and adherence to traditional craft makes the patí an obsession for the tight-knit group of "addicts" who build and sail them.

Rafel Figuerola, owner and lead boatbuilder of the Club Patí Vela Barcelona, says the result of arduous months in the workshop is a boat personalized to a specific sailor, a boat with "soul."

Death, putrefaction, bacteria. This is what we smell when we arrive at the coast and breathe in the sweet odor of the sea. In this short film, perfumer Ernesto Collado takes us on an olfactory exploration to rewild our most under-appreciated sense and begin to discover the language of our natural world.

In an incredible journey kickstarted by completely losing his sense of smell to a neurological disorder, Collado comes back to nature and inadvertently closer to the enigmatic grandfather he so admired.
