A sequence from Planktonium, a short by filmmaker and photographer Jan van IJken. The ~15-minute documentary is showing the microscopic base of the oceanic food chain –and thus the foundation of life on this wonderful planet– in a new light with astonishing imagery. Go buy (or rent) the whole film, if you like the short clip.
