The deep sea is an alien world where sunlight cannot reach. The most inaccessible place on Earth for humans, its secrets are one of our great mysteries. But while we know so little about the depths of the oceans, it knows us. It knows our plastics, which settle in its deepest trenches; it knows our hunger, prospecting for the oil that lies beneath its surface; and it knows our greed, from the scars left by nets that trawl all life on the ocean floor. Caught in the Net is a hypnotic combination of the concrete and the abstract – blending mesmerising footage captured by scientific researchers that shows the detritus of industry, with the endless poetry of the sea itself. Combining a lyrical sensibility with quiet rage, the film exposes the vast reach of capitalism, reflecting on themes of exploitation, exploration, heritage, decay, care and resistance.
