A Life Illuminated

Director Tasha Van Zandt is scheduled to be in attendance. 

A Life Illuminated is a visually breathtaking, awe-inspiring documentary that plunges into the mysterious depths of the ocean alongside pioneering marine biologist Dr. Edith Widder.

A trailblazer in the study of bioluminescence, Widder has devoted her life to uncovering the glowing secrets of the deep sea. Now, she embarks on her most ambitious expedition yet: capturing definitive video evidence of never-before-seen bioluminescent lifeforms in their natural habitat.

Featuring astonishing, cutting-edge underwater cinematography, the film reveals otherworldly creatures pulsing with electric blues, ghostly greens, and flashes of living light—imagery so surreal it feels like science fiction. These remarkable deep-sea visuals, many captured for the first time ever, transform the screen into a luminous underwater cosmos.

Both thrilling adventure and profound scientific journey, A Life Illuminated celebrates curiosity, innovation, and the breathtaking beauty hidden beneath the waves.
