"Sailing A Sinking Sea" is a feature-length experimental documentary exploring the culture of the Moken people of Burma and Thailand. The Moken are a seafaring community, traditionally spending eight months out of the year in thatch-roofed wooden boats.

"Sailing A Sinking Sea" weaves a visual and aural tapestry of Moken mythologies and present-day practices. As a viewer you will swim under the sea past fishes and mermaids, sail boats across turquoise waters, land on 13 different islands, step inside sea shanties on stilts, dance between lovers and emerge drenched in Moken mythology.

"Sailing A Sinking Sea" premiered at SXSW last year and went on to play Hot Docs, BFI London, Margaret Mead and recently won the Audience Choice Award at the Singapore International Film Festival.

The film is scored by Bitchin Bajas (Drag City). Bitchin Bajas create meditative textured compositions, blending acoustic and electronic instruments over rhythmic pulses and drones. Bitchin Bajas will be performing live following the film.
