Love and regret go hand in hand in this world of changes swifter than the shifting of the clouds reflected in the mirror of the sea.
- Joseph Conrad -
The Institute for Research on the Enchantment of the Seas is a meeting place between art, science and economy: it wants to study and share the delight and happiness as well as the serious and acute suffering of the seas through the creation of audiovisual, literary, visual, stage and radio productions.
The IOBZ is working on a first film: 'De 11e Provincie'. Wim Opbrouck is putting together a team of scientists, marine biologists, artists and other oddballs for the IOBZ's first film. They will each research all aspects of the North Sea within their own field of expertise.The expedition members form the core of the film. They are the story, the colourful guides on this adventurous journey through the 11th Province. The documentary will offer a unique insight into a maritime world beyond imagination. A world that begins where our country ends. With this expedition, IOBZ wants to make the ultimate portrait of the North Sea in all its facets.
The 11th Province is a transmedia project.
