Be inspired, get educated and prepare to have your mind blown! Let ADEX take you on a journey from the shallows to the depths and leave you with a mind filled with the mystery and majesty of the ocean. From inspirational films about the show’s dedicated marine creature, seahorses, to Academy Award-nominated blockbuster documentaries and films with voice-overs by Hollywood stars, the ADEX 2016 Film Festival promises to be a highlight of the show. Don’t miss this line-up of world-class films screening over the last two days of ADEX: ADEX SCAN RACING EXTINCTION By Louie Psihoyos In the hard-hitting Racing Extinction, a team of artists and activists uncover the hidden world of the mass extinction of species on Earth, with never-before-seen images that will change the way we look at our unique and beautiful home planet forever. Two worlds drive extinction across the globe, potentially resulting in the loss of half of all species. The international wildlife trade creates bogus markets, at the expense of creatures that have survived on this planet for millions of years. And the other surrounds us, hiding in plain sight – a world that the oil and gas companies don’t want the rest of us to see. Using covert tactics and state-of-the-art technology, the Racing Extinction team exposes these two worlds in an inspiring call to preserve life as we know it. From the Academy Award-winning makers of The Cove, and nominated for several Academy Awards since its release on Discovery in December, the film has been making huge waves and is set to be a game changer in the race to save life on our planet.
