Deep beneath the earth’s crust, hundreds of metres or kilometres below the surface, with no light, no air, and very little water, in pores and fissures of hard rock, scientists have found an enormous biodiversity of micro-organisms that thrive in extreme conditions. The Dark Biosphere challenges everything we thought we knew and challenges us to rethink not only the origin and evolution of life on Earth but its possible existence throughout the Universe.

Javier Bollain (Spain) The naturalist Javier Bollaín has been passionate about science and the world of documentaries ever since he was a child and saw such iconic series as The Under sea World of Jacques Cousteau; El hombre y la Tierra by the Spanish naturalist Félix Rodriguez de la Fuente; or Cosmos, presented by the American astrophysicist Carl Sagan. He embarked on his journey in the world of communication and directing in the mid-1990s, when he participated for the first time in writing scripts for the exhibitions at the National Museum of Natural Sciences in Madrid and directed his first documentary short, “Stories of Planet Earth”. In 1999, barely a month after finishing his academic training, he founded the production company Render Area and launched his professional career in the documentary world. He has participated in more than 140 projects related to the communication and spreading of scientific knowledge for national and international institutes and museums. J. Bollaín holds a bachelor’s degree in Geological Sciences from Complutense University of Madrid and an expert’s degree in Scientific Images from Alcalá de Henares University
