The Sounds of Water

Affiche officielle du film documentaire "Les Chants de l'Eau"

This 52-minute documentary film explores the different roles water plays and the different ways water is perceived in communities throughout the world

During a yearlong trip around the world, meeting with local populations in big cities and remote villages, Perrine & Guillaume Broust embarked on a journey to learn more about people’s relationship with water, producing the documentary film, The Sounds of Water ("Les Chants de l'Eau").

How is water perceived and used? What are its benefits and risks? What legends are told about water? What is its history? All of these topics are covered through interviews with fishermen, farmers, free divers, ministers, researchers... This documentary expands the ways we think about and use water.

Submission for the 2023 @redbullillume 📸🌟
@solennepiret (3x World Paraclimbing Champion) enjoying a fun break at the breathtaking Makatea crag in French Polynesia. 🏔️💫

The story behind this pic, shared by @guillaume_broust "While shooting climbing footage with Solene for the movie #makatea with the non-profit @maewanadventurebase, we stumbled upon this incredible hole in the cliff.

I quickly switched to 'photo-mode' (that's I use hybrid cameras 📸) and had to swing on my static rope, exerting force on my legs to push away from the wall and capture the widest shot possible.

Focusing became a challenge since I was using a #canon 16/35mm lens on a #sonyalpha camera. So that means no autofocus. I had to estimate the focus point and make it work. You can't close the shutter too much due to the shadowy lighting, which is typical when shooting climbing.

Nevertheless, Solene's infectious smile and relaxed pose make this picture truly remarkable!"

Don't miss out the captivating 26-minute documentary "Makatea Vertical Adventure" available on my official website. 🎥✨
