Eight years of swimming through seaweed forests, and Gabriella D’Cruz still remembers the early fear. How alien it felt. How the surface gives nothing away, just a patchy shimmer. But when one is inside this dense, wild, breathing ecosystem, the faintest brush on your skin can send your mind into a spiral that anything could go wrong. But nothing ever has. Not in the eight years. “If anything,” she says, “I feel protected in the forest.” Gabriella stands by the idea that being unharmed in a wild place isn’t luck, it’s a relationship. That you enter softly, you ask for permission, you understand you cannot harm it, and you listen. The forest, in return, holds you. Winner of the BBC Global Youth Champion award in 2021, Gabriella came to seaweed the long way around, through coral reef conservation and cetacean monitoring with WWF India. But the real turn came in the Gulf of Mannar, where she met a community of women seaweed harvesters who could read the ecosystem in a way no textbook had taught her. She started The Good Ocean in 2022 to work alongside harvesters like them, on fairer incomes, on safer practices, on guidelines that let the forest keep doing what forests do. GFM is proud to present Gabriella’s spectacular story on India’s first underwater documentary film focused on native seaweed ecosystems.

Sometimes you ask a tree or a star or a meteor or the ocean a question, and they answer back in light. Improvising with @mr_makhija on 16mm Hand developed at @harkat.studios #nopostproduction #handmade #16mm

Showing some films and celebrating cinema at the Auroville Film Festival in the coming days 🎥

Matt McWilliams took these on his 16mm spy cam. What a way to see the world. One eye closed and the whole world opens. No filter no edit. Just hand developed with love in a DIY darkroom where tiny tubs filled with homemade developer help you believe in magic. Duh
