Creating waves of change through documentary films
As part of our mission to safeguard the health of our oceans, we are proud to fund the creation of short documentaries that spotlight critical issues in marine conservation. These residencies provide filmmakers, writers, and conservationists with the resources and space they need to bring compelling ocean stories to life.
Hosted at the picturesque Rocabella estate in the South of France, our residencies offer participants an immersive, seven- to eight-week program. Residents receive funding, meals, and accommodations, enabling them to focus fully on their documentary projects. These films are not just about raising awareness—they aim to inspire action and drive real change in how we protect and preserve our oceans.
This residency program is the cornerstone of our initiative to support creative storytelling as a tool for ocean protection. Each documentary we help fund will tackle key conservation topics, amplifying the voices of those fighting to protect our planet’s most precious resource.
By investing in these films, we aim to educate, inspire, and empower audiences around the world to join the fight for healthier, more sustainable oceans.
