Leviathan, Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Véréna Paravel (2012, USA, 87 min.)
Leviathan is a groundbreaking documentary about commercial fishing on a Massachusetts trawler. Shot entirely with 13 GoPro cameras (no narration, subtitles, or interviews), it is a  sensory immersion of fishing life.

"Leviathan is unlike any documentary you've ever seen. It's fishing as cosmic horror." – The Guardian
