Untold Odyssey: Point Nemo
An extraordinary journey to the world’s most isolated oceanic spot
Spanish director Guille Cascante—a filmmaker who has worked on TV formats for Vice, Red Bull, and MTV—accompanies Barcelona-based competitive sailor Didac Costa as he undertakes La Vendee Globe, a grueling single-handed yacht race to circle the globe without stops or assistance. After two months of sailing, Costa and Cascante reach Point Nemo—the location on the earth furthest from any inhabited place.
“Point Nemo is the location on the earth furthest from any inhabited place”
The globe-trotting director explains how the film “reflects on the minimal existence of these sailors at sea. To successfully navigate to this most isolated of places, everything must be rationed: material, provisions, energy, effort, sleep. You have to ration the ‘self’ in order to survive."
