A Cinematic Journey Beneath the Surface
Experience the power, beauty and mystery of the North Sea
In September 2024, we proudly released North Sea, Nature Untamed (De Wilde Noordzee) – a visually breathtaking feature-length wildlife documentary that captures our sea in all its raw splendour. From swirling algae to majestic orcas, this cinematic adventure reveals the extraordinary biodiversity and untapped potential of the North Sea as a vital natural ecosystem.
With its high-impact underwater cinematography, hopeful message, and stunning visuals, the film quickly became a milestone in Dutch film history.

The TV Series
In April 2025, the Four-part Television Series premiered on EO, NPO1 Dutch Television, reaching an average of over 600,000 viewers per episode.
The series explores every corner of the North Sea ecosystem — from dynamic coastlines and shifting sandbanks to hidden reefs and open water. With its educational value and cinematic quality, the series is expected to return regularly to Dutch television in the years ahead.
Live Events & Education
We believe in connecting people directly to the sea. That’s why we regularly host live events in cinemas, where we share our experiences, stories and behind-the-scenes footage from the making of the film.
We also contribute to public education, collaborating on exhibitions, talks and outreach programmes that inspire a deeper understanding of the North Sea and its importance for our future.
