Interview with a Shark: screening and discussion at Club de l’Étoile

How do you interpret a shark’s behavior and recognize the limits of what you think you understand? The Club de l’Étoile is screening Entretien avec un requin, a documentary by Pierre-Etienne Larrous, followed by a discussion with the film’s team.

The story begins with a dive in Mozambique in 2020, during which naturalist guide Steven Surina encounters bull shark behavior he cannot anticipate. Shaken, he sets off on a journey from the Azores to the Philippines, via the Maldives, to compare his experience with different species and other perspectives.

After the screening, Steven Surina, director Pierre-Etienne Larrous and producer Patrick Metzlé are set to talk with the audience. The evening thus extends the question posed by the film: what role do observation, experience and our own perceptions play in how we interpret the animal world?

Produced by Drift Production, this 2025 French documentary was selected for Fipadoc. It also won the Best Screenplay Award at the Festival international Nature Namur in 2026.
