Art and oceans. Science and music. Solar systems and sustainability. They all join forces in a new art film showcasing coral reefs and rare marine life most threatened by climate change.

The project’s mastermind, Australian artist Lynette Wallworth, designed the film, Coral Rekindling Venus, for projection in digital planetariums, and she invited the New York City band Antony and the Johnsons to write the song that accompanies this trailer.

Both the artist and the musicians are known for their evocative lamentations about humanity’s impact on nature. Five years in the making with the help of an Emmy-winning underwater cinematographer, the ambitious film is “a call to action,” Wallworth told The Guardian.
