I’M IN! This beautiful teaser trailer for ‘Leviathan’ — a film by Véréna Paravel (Foreign Parts) and Lucien Castaing-Taylor (Sweetgrass) — is tastefully ambiguous, providing just the right amount of intrigue to have completely hooked me. Here’s the synopsis:
in the very waters where melville’s pequod gave chase to moby dick, leviathan captures the collaborative clash of man, nature, and machine. shot on a dozen cameras — tossed and tethered, passed from fisherman to filmmaker — it is a cosmic portrait of one of mankind’s oldest endeavors.
As somebody who was momentarily obsessed with Deadliest Catch, I have high hopes that Leviathan will manage to capture the lives of these fisherman in the same contemplative, cinematic presentation as their previous films. Leviathan premiers at the Festival del film Locarno, taking place August 1-11 in Locarno, Switzerland. Visit the film’s official website for updates on upcoming screenings.
They should release it in 3D, that’d be something. Though I don’t know if I can actually ‘survive’ 90 minutes of this.

Wow whoever made this is an absolute geneius , truly amazing work – I really look forward to getting my hands on the full release – had no idea about this until now, brilliant thank you
Sold, want to see this asap.
I’m really hoping that this at least gets a screening here in Texas. This film reminds me a bit of Sweetgrass and I love these kinds of fly-on-the-wall documentaries.
Makes me want be in the Palm Springs desert ASAP.
Was there not a better cut of film to use? Hope the film offers more substance than the trailer. Need a new trailer, fast.
Just saw it at TFF in Torino.
This movie explains better than any spoken word why we should stop eating the cheap fish we can buy everyday in every supermarket in the world.
From the trailer I can see that this is a stunning film – unique.
How can I, in Serbia, watch the whole film? Will there be a DVD on sale in the near future?
