DOLPHIN EMBASSY

REVELACIÓN DE JONÁS
57 min, 2020
¿Cuántas veces has conseguido sentir
que algo mucho mayor que tú te rodea
y penetra en ti?
Llámalo intuición, premonición o consciencia –¿pero quién está realmente palpitando en tu interior?
Tres días, tres noches, tres vidas
en el vientre de la ballena...
Los ojos deben acostumbrarse a la oscuridad para aprender a distinguir la luz.
No hay otra manera de ver claro.
Hemos avanzado tanto que ya no podemos huir el uno del otro…
Observa atentamente… Por mucho tiempo me he constituido en ti.
Estás compuesto por entero de mí.
No hay nada más importante para ambos que realizarnos el uno para el otro.
Aquel que buscas te está buscando…

INTRATERRESTRE
UN CONTACTO FUGAZ
55 min, 2017
TEASER TRAILER
La Orilla y el Océano.
Lo congelado y lo fluido.
Lo artificial y lo genuino.
Humanos y delfines.
Dos maneras de vivir. Dos mentalidades.
Un diálogo entre dos sistemas mundiales.
¿Puede darse el contacto entre ellos?
Intraterrestre – habitantes de la Tierra - no nosotros O ellos, sino nosotros CON ellos.

Ellos no construyen megaciudades, no mejoran el servicio, no protegen la propiedad, son indiferentes a la tecnología, a los negocios o a la política.
No emprenden reformas económicas, ni mantienen la paz con armas, ni son sacerdotes en nómina, ni tienen propiedades privadas o inmuebles.
No hacen que las cosas sean inamovibles – para ellos, la idea en sí misma equivaldría a morir.
En lugar de caridad, muestran compasión; en lugar de diplomacia, sinceridad;
en lugar de museos, expresan arte vivo;
en lugar de centrales eléctricas, mantienen un contacto directo con la energía…

The Dolphin Embassy is a research, information, consultancy and production center that aims to create a new cultural environment conducive to a sustainable and harmonious development of life and consciousness on the Planet.
The Embassy’s activities are directly associated with dolphins and whales, who represent the most ancient form of consciousness on Earth, inhabit evidently the larger part of its surface, have abilities, and lead lives that provide lessons of great importance for humans.
For this purpose the Embassy carries out non-invasive research into the abilities of free-living dolphins and whales, as well as public experiments and exhibitions aimed at revealing fundamental commonalities of all types of consciousness on the Planet.
Dolphin Embassy Films creates documentaries based on these researches.

MY PILOT, WHALE
27 min, 2015
TEASER TRAILER
Direct contact between two forms of intelligence is possible.
This contact overtuned not only our usual ideas about dolphins, but also about our ideas about the capabilities of human beings.
This film is the first to depict unmediated interaction between man and free-living pilot whale. It is a film that immerses audiences into the world of beings who have lived on our Planet fifty times longer than the humankind. A film that is in itself an experience of direct dialogue with them and the Universe. A film that presents us with an opportunity to adopt a different view of life, consciousness and ourselves.

By the time of release of the film, we have spent about fifteen hundred hours with them. Each time we come back from these journeys unable to speak. The space we have been to transforms our vocabulary that thus far seemed to describe the world quite adequately. The new language soaks in, re-cultivates us. The language is so much more genuine, that we are no longer able to speak and think in terms of the past.
STILL PHOTOS
All underwater images in this documentary were shot in the open ocean and feature free-living pilot whales









I think civilization is about the way we interact with the world. Had human beings opted for different principles we would see the world differently and would have a different civilization.
Where does the contact zone lie?
There’s no other medium but focused attention. No other reason but Love. There’s nothing else to talk about. That’s all they have here.
It’s about reestablishing the connection. Accepting the gift that is both a treasure and a calling. Everything about their usual selves is also about possibilities open to us.
