Guillaumé Néry is a 36-year-old French freediver, double world champion. The fish man is able to descend to a depth of 125 m. But an accident during a competition prompted him to end his sporting career. However, this does not mean that he has stopped diving and it is in collaboration with his partner, Julie Gautier, that he makes incredible films of his underwater escapades.
In this new short film called "One Breath around the World", we find the diver in the underwater depths he loves so much, discovering the wildlife around him. Photos of all scenes are told and explained in a book published by Glénat .
From swimming on incredible vertical walls, to meeting a sperm whale family, dancing among sharks, climbing branches or sprinting through a white sand breakthrough among dark rocks, everything is incroyable?! The images associated with the music are just beautiful and once again, we take a lot of them yeux?! We also find this scene filmed backwards, where we no longer know where the earth is, where the sky is...
To make this film, 8 months of shooting were necessary. The diver has explored the Mediterranean, the Pacific, Mauritius, the cenotes of Mexico, the frozen lake of Päijänne in Finland, but also a sunken city in Japan. It is none other than his partner, Julie Gautier, also an apneist, who films his dives.
The most impressive scene remains that of the "monoliths", as the apneist told France Culture. This scene where the sperm whales are in candlelight (rest position).
Once again, we can only be impressed by the diver's ease, by this feeling of weightlessness.
