*** Stay tuned after the film for a Q&amp;A with the filmmakers ***<a href="https://watch.eventive.org/reframe2026/play/6977ab80ded156f1f42c7cf9" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">View a recording of just the Q&amp;A here.</a>﻿For a long time, the ocean seemed unalterable and limitless, but the impact of our actions on its biodiversity and temperature has become increasingly alarming. In Ocean Seen From the Heart, Hubert Reeves, surrounded by passionate scientists and explorers, invites us to rediscover not only what threatens the ocean,&nbsp;but also its phenomenal capacity for regeneration. A hymn to life at its richest and most precious—life we must protect if we are to survive, among other species, on our blue planet.

At Showplace, welcoming remarks will include a performance by Healing with Drums. Naandewegaan (Healing with Drums) Singers is a multi-generational powerhouse quartet of Indigenous women based in Nogojiwanong-Peterborough. Janet McCue, Zainab Amadahy, Mshkiki Gitigaan and B. Serene Brennan have been singing together for almost 3 years. They share a passion for music with a mission to provide healing sounds using the heartbeat of Mother Earth and the power of voice across the region. Naandewegaan (Healing With Drums) Singers were proudly awarded last year's Ontario Arts Council grant for Indigenous Artists in Communities and Schools Projects. They are thrilled to be opening for Echoes in Steel and Ocean Seen from the Heart at ReFrame Film Festival. Filmmaker Biography(ies): Iolande Cadrin-Rossignol (Writer, Co-director) has worked in several capacities in the Québec film industry. After advanced studies in theatre and music, she worked in radio and television. She then devoted herself to scriptwriting, producing, and directing a number of cinematographic works, which have always reached the general public. In the meantime, she became producer at the National Film Board, director of outside production at Radio-Canada, and interim director of the Cinémathèque québécoise for nearly four years. Since 1999, her most important works, centered around astrophysicist Hubert Reeves, have revealed her ability to create captivating scientific content with Conteur d'étoiles, and Du Big Bang au Vivant. With Earth Seen From the Heart (2018), starring Hubert Reeves, she was able to openly express her own ecological commitment, which had been, incidentally, at the root of her first foray into cinema (1973). At the same time, in Ocean Seen From the Heart, co-directed with Marie-Dominique Michaud, she offers an even broader vision of the state of biodiversity and climate on the planet. At the request of Éditions du Seuil, she has further developed the threads running through these documentaries in two "beautiful books": La Terre vue du cœur (2019) and L'Océan vu du cœur (2023). Passionate about content and creation, Marie-Dominique Michaud (Producer, Co-director) has over 15 years’ experience managing multidisciplinary teams in the new media, television, and film sectors, mainly as a producer. Most notably in new writing with Les Enfants de La Bolduc (multiple awards in Québec and internationally), In the Mouth and Loov.ca, in television with 3 seasons of the Toi &amp; Moi series broadcast on Radio-Canada, in film with the feature-length fictions Le Torrent by Simon Lavoie and Gurov &amp; Anna by Rafaël Ouellet, and the documentary Earth Seen From the Heart by Iolande Cadrin Rossignol, with whom she co-wrote the screenplay. Ocean Seen From the Heart is her first co-direction. Her love of living things and her passion for understanding them and transmitting credible, inspiring knowledge about them are at the heart of her professional commitment. The 6-episode fiction series Les Affluents, currently in production, of which she is the instigator and content producer, is testimony to this. She shares the original concept with director Sophie Deraspe and producer Marie-Eve Pelletier (PIXCOM). Just like the forthcoming 4 X 52-minute documentary series inspired by the feature film L'Océan vu du cœur, which will follow the heroes of ocean protection (met during the making of the film L'Océan vu du cœur) in their actions, their discoveries, and revealing the legacy they offer to us all.
