Artist Lynette Wallworth's Coral: Rekindling Venus is a stunning, unashamedly epic cinematic voyage through the underwater forests of our vanishing Great Barrier Reef. Five years in the making and filmed explicitly for a planetarium screen, it takes us into a world of unalloyed beauty and mystery and offers a clarion call to save these majestic underwater kingdoms before it's too late. Features music from Ryuichi Sakamoto, and specially commissioned songs by Antony and the Johnsons.
