My Octopus Teacher: Q&A

Join us for a deep-dive into the Oscar-nominated story of a unique relationship between a diver and a charismatic octopus, set in the spectacular under-sea world off the tip of South Africa.

Currently in the running for both an Oscar and a BAFTA, My Octopus Teacher follows filmmaker and naturalist Craig Foster over the course of a year spent freediving in a kelp forest in Cape Town, closely observing and developing a relationship with an octopus.
