A Small Hydromedusa: Polyorchis Haplus

A live-action film of a rare sea creature. The tiny transparent life form (only 5/8″ high) has only rarely been observed in its natural habitat. The remarkable Eames macro-photography provides an intimate view of the animal, and demonstrates the creature’s symmetrical shape and its movement in the water.
 Scored by Glen Gould performing Bach’s Fugue in F. Minor.
