In the deep blue waters of the Pacific Ocean a woman and wild Spinner Dolphins forge a tender relationship through the graceful language of dance. Recognized as Best Experimental Film at its world premiere at the Big Apple Film Festival, ‘Together: Dancing with Spinner Dolphins’ (3 min 33 sec, 2010) is the debut film of the Dolphin Dance Project.

Lose yourself in the radically different world of wild dolphins as you follow graceful dancers into the deep ocean, surrounded by swirling, chattering, and squawking, at once familiar and unfamiliar. “Amongst” is the first film of a 3D trilogy, “So Close 3D”. It features 2015 Asia Cup silver medalist in static apnea, Yuki Kusachi with Kayoko Sawamura and a raucous pod of wild Atlantic Spotted dolphins. Shot on a 3D underwater camera rig devised by project director Benjamin Harley, the film was awarded Best Live Action Film in 3D Theater Session at the Stereoscopic Displays and Applications XXVII.

With gorgeous cinematography by the renowned underwater filmmaker Howard Hall, “Dolphin Dreams” follows two New York City dancers who dive into an unprecedented interspecies collaboration, creating underwater dances with a charismatic pod of wild Atlantic Spotted dolphins in the open ocean. Weaving together elements of dance film, natural history documentary and behind-the-scenes storytelling, “Dolphin Dreams” reveals the desire for mutual understanding and trust in the hearts of human and dolphin alike. We are asked to consider the dolphins’ perspective equal to our own.
