Aspiring Depths is on the Film Festival in Belgrade


Blue Eye FX Productions is presenting ASPIRING DEPTHS on the contest of the 13th International Underwater Film Festival - Belgrade between 12. - 14. December 2009.

ASPIRING DEPTHS takes you on a journey into the deep. Follow three of the current world champions of freediving, Herbert Nitsch, William Trubridge and Sara Campbell as they test and explore personal limits in time and depth—depths believed to be potentially fatal for the human body.

The intensely competitive nature of these champions highlights the amazing ability of the human body to adapt to the most demanding situations. Each dive is a confounding of science, but just as fascinating are the different personalities. Their colorful lives and unyielding passion for this unique sport will thrill, inspire, and excite you…all while fostering a deeper respect for life itself.
Freediving is not only and extreme sport but perhaps the most beautiful form of movement the human body can perform—weightless; the divers move in three dimensions as nowhere else on Earth.

While the competition is chronicled on land, the real beauty of the film lies beneath the surface. There is something pure and exhilarating about venturing far out of man’s habitat, back towards the origins of evolution. Underwater cameras capture these magnificent athletes, fearlessly driving themselves ever deeper.
