Into the Deep

Sun, Oct 27, 12:00 – 14:00
Oak Room, ATU Connemara, H91 AH5K

Renowned under-water cameraman and filmmaker, Ken O’Sullivan, will perform his unique live show INTO THE DEEP, outlining his incredible adventures exploring the North Atlantic Ocean. The multi-award-winning Clare native will speak about his experiences exploring the stunning underwater world of the North Atlantic Ocean and encountering enormous whales and monstrous sharks. Ken – who is also passionate about ocean conservation – will show videos and give insight and backstories into what it’s like trying to navigate the North Atlantic Ocean to find and film some of the largest animals ever to have lived, including blue and fin whales, the largest animals ever to have lived. Ken will give a first-hand account of his unforgettable dive in 2016 when he was the first cameraman in the world to film and document a group of thirty basking sharks engaged in a courtship ritual off the Clare coast. The live show is a mix of film and stories from Ken’s 18-year long career. He pays homage to his family’s 250-year history on Fenit Island, Co. Kerry and the ancient maritime culture.
