How Deep Is Your Love

This CPH:DOX 2025 selection by Eleanor Mortimer unites playfulness and urgency in a story of oceanic discovery – a venture as strange and wondrous as it is important. Here, scientists aren’t confined to labs, but are explorers in an alien realm less charted than the moon, who name sea creatures with endearing spontaneity – from the “headless chicken monster” to the “mystery blob”. But beneath their humour is a sobering truth: deep-sea mining threatens to erase knowledge untouched for millions of years. This film captures unfathomable beauty while revealing deep-sea science as intertwined with politics and environmental stewardship. It’s a love letter to the unknown and a plea for the preservation of this final earthly frontier.
