BEAUTIFUL VISITORS UNDER THREAT
The Cuttlefish of Babbacombe Bay, DVD, Alan Mildren
The Cuttlefish of Babbacombe Bay
(Marine Vision Studios, www.marinevisionstudios.com).
15min,£10.95
Alan Mildren's The Cuttlefish of Babbacombe Bay is a very short film - about 15 minutes short, in fact, including a number of scene-setting views of Torquay traffic. However, the underwater footage of the big cuttlefish that visit this part of Devon every year to breed is as inspiring as the shots of these beautiful cephalopods trapped in local fishermen's pots are depressing. How long they will keep coming back to be treated like this, we don't know.
I'm not sure what the market is for such a fleeting item as this DVD, but I daresay there are cuttlefish fanatics out there who will want to watch it again and again. |
