Dig This: Secrets Of The Sea @ New England Aquarium

Written by DAWN MARTIN Posted February 2, 2023 Filed Under: LIFESTYLE

Introducing “audiences to a new cast of strange and wondrous aquatic animals and marine life that reveal just how truly magnificent and extraordinary the ocean world really is”


If there’s one thing we know about the New England Aquarium, it’s that you should take them up on opportunities to experience multimedia events there—from concerts, to movie screenings.

Among the latter is their “lavishly photographed new giant screen 3D documentary that explores the astonishing world of 70 marine species and the fascinating ways in which they interact with each other and their environment.” The film opens exclusively on Feb. 17 in their Simons Theatre.

More from the aquarium below …

From pygmy seahorses and opalescent squid to giant manta rays, tiger sharks, barnacle blennies, and coconut octopus, Secrets of the Sea showcases how ocean animals depend on one another for survival, and the critical need for marine biodiversity to keep our oceans healthy. 

The film is a stunning visual celebration of marine life with an inspiring message about protecting our oceans, shot in 16 locations around the world from Tahiti to the Philippines and California. Narrated by Joelle Carter, it is the latest underwater giant screen documentary from internationally acclaimed filmmakers Howard and Michele Hall and local award-winning filmmaker Jonathan Bird.

Previous blockbuster ocean hits for Howard and Michelle Hall include Into the Deep, Island of the Sharks, Deep Sea 3D, and Under the Sea 3D, which combined have grossed more than $250 million at the worldwide box office. For Secrets of the Sea, the Halls partnered with director and cinematographer Jonathan Bird, whose giant screen film Ancient Caves was released to critical acclaim in 2020 and who is the producer and host of Jonathan Bird’s Blue World, an Emmy® Award-winning educational and family-friendly underwater adventure series airing on public television and YouTube. He is also the founder of Oceanic Research Group (oceanicresearch.org), a non-profit environmental organization founded in 1990 to promote conservation of the world’s oceans.

“Secrets of the Sea introduces audiences to a new cast of strange and wondrous aquatic animals and marine life that reveal just how truly magnificent and extraordinary the ocean world really is,” the Halls said in a media statement. “Viewers will discover animal behaviors that have only rarely been photographed before, such as the unique way dugongs and remoras interact with one another and the spawning rituals of squid and parrotfish.”

“Everything about this film was created expressly for the large screen—the story, the pacing, the editing, the photography is all designed to be really big and really, really immersive,” Jonathan added.  “Families and kids will love seeing all the animals, from tiny krill to giant blue whales, and will marvel at how so much of the ocean’s sea life works together symbiotically.”

Secrets of the Sea will screen through Dec. 31.
