 ANTARCTICA – DOMAIN ONE / JOAQUÍN & JULIÁN AZULAY / ARGENTINA / 94 MIN
Antarctica – Domain One is a cinematic testament to the beauty and fragility of Earth’s southernmost frontier. Narrated by Ricardo Darín and Kelly Slater, this documentary follows the expedition of Joaquín and Julián Azulay (also known as the Gauchos del Mar brothers) as they voyage to the icy waters of the South Shetland Islands and the Antarctic Peninsula in search of a wave.
Through powerful visuals, the documentary expands from a personal surf adventure to global urgency, as international environmental forums embrace the film as an advocacy tool supporting the campaign to establish Domain 1 as a Marine Protected Area.

Three reasons to host
a Screen+Talk with the directors!
1. More than a documentary, Antarctica – Domain One is part of an active international campaign to establish Domain 1 as a Marine Protected Area. Through their expedition-based approach, Joaquín and Julián can demonstrate to students how cinema can serve as a concrete tool for climate storytelling, environmental advocacy, and policy awareness.
2. Narrated by Ricardo Darín and Kelly Slater, and presented at major international environmental forums –including the United Nations Ocean Conference–, the film has reached audiences that go far beyond the festival circuit, influenced public discourse, and contributed to global climate policy debates.
3. In addition to Antarctica – Domain One, universities can book any of the Gauchos del Mar brothers’ five other films in the catalogue, all centered on environmental protection, territory, and social responsibility. This would allow faculty to design multi-screening programs across topics such as environmental studies, climate change, ocean life conservation, geography, sustainability, social responsibility, activism, and film.
