Summary
One of the most critically-acclaimed documentaries in recent years, LEVIATHAN is a groundbreaking, immersive portrait of the contemporary commercial fishing industry. Directed by the award-winning filmmakers of *Sweetgrass* and *Foreign Parts*, LEVIATHAN is a purely visceral, cinematic experience. Nominated for the Truer Than FIction Award at the **Film Independent Spirit Awards.** Winner of the Don Quixote Award and the FIPRESCI Prize at the **Locarno International Film Festival.** *"With its repetitive images of netted and gutted sea life, the film suggests that the beast is the human hunter himself." - Peter Keough, **Boston Globe*** *"...a briny, immersive effect that is almost hallucinatory." - Peter Howell, **Toronto Star***
