Global news outlets ran headlines this year that the Great Barrier Reef was suffering a sixth mass bleaching event, many with a picture of John Brewer Reef. “More than half of the living coral cover that we can see from the air is severely bleached…” as CNN.com quotes an AIMS coral biologist as asserting. “From the air”, we are told the state under the water. But what can you see of life under the water, from flying past in the air? In Bleached Colourful skipper Paul Crocombe takes biologist Dr. Jennifer Marohasy to see this coral reef. From under the water.
Alongside the test screening of Bleached Colourful, will be a chance to see Finding Porites, which chronicles an adventure with Dr. Jennifer Marohasy to a magical place with crystal clear waters, giant clams, and even bigger corals. Under the sea, could the faithful growth rings of these colossus corals hold the true history of climate change?
Tickets for this double-bill screening plus bonus Q&A with films' producer and director, Dr. Jennifer Marohasy, will be available for $15.
