Moon Crab

Film still of crabs.

Synopsis

“Moon Crab” is a meditation on the horseshoe crab, one of Earth’s oldest living species now struggling with extreme population decline. Blending reflections on nature’s cycles with experimental visuals, the film employs an array of techniques, including eco-processed film developed with seaweed, to immerse the viewer in the crab’s subaquatic world. Narrated with intimate depth by physiologist Dr. Abner Lall, the filmmaker’s neighbor, this documentary captures a timeless story of resilience and fragility, urging us to reconsider our connection to the natural world.
