Over the course of a decade, Paul Gilman and Valerie Gill have pursued a fantastical journey on the high seas,
communing with whales through the medium of music. The resulting astonishing footage, tracing an intimate interaction
between man and mammal, is set to the tune of renowned composer Paul Gilman’s ethereal orchestrations.

Ocean Odyssey. (US) Electronic composer/producer/performer Paul Gilman directs this doc about his experiments in communicating with whales and dolphins through music. He gets some surprising responses from the undersea mammals and seems well on his way to having a Spongebob-style underwater rave. We shan't sully ourselves by pointing out the obvious pun in Gilman's name.
