Underwater Impressions
Documentary45 min
Former propagandist and deep-sea diver Leni Riefenstahl explores coral reefs in oceans around the world, turning the documentary toward the undersea landscapes she films. Riefenstahl’s presence anchors the film as it moves from one marine environment to another, focusing on underwater imagery and the life found within reef ecosystems. In German, the film is built around observation of the ocean, with the camera lingering on coral formations and marine life across different waters rather than following a conventional host-driven travelogue.
