Film Notes
This is the first documentary made by the “Panaria Film Boys”. The directors set out to show, through the camera, the under-water world, never before filmed. And also to present a very new sport, which the four introduced to Italy at that time: subaquatic fishing. They themselves built all the technical equipment for the underwater filming (in 35mm); all the shooting was done without breathing apparatus, which in fact did not exist at that time.
