About this event
Screening as part of IberoDocs 2026 . This screening will have a short 5-minute introduction. Celebrating the 10th anniversary of Ama-San , we are bringing this IberoDocs favourite back from the archives for our 12th edition. Sunlight filters through the water as an Ama-San descends on a single breath, searching for abalone beneath the waves. The film offers an intimate glimpse into a tradition that has been part of Japan for over 2,000 years.

Not the same tradition as the lineage above — a genuinely different thread to pull, if you want one.
