Welcome to the beautiful Kalymnos Island Greece

Bengt Borjeson is a pioneer underwater photographer and
filmmaker. In 1955 he visited Kalymnos island Greece, got hooked by the mentality and way of life of sponge divers and decided to make a documentary. The film was finished in 1965 and is very impressive because it documents the social reality and sponge industry in the 1960s but also for the unique real underwater shooting at a time that underwater cinematography was still in its infancy. Thanks to Bengt Borjeson we have unique underwater shootings of diving methods that no more exist like the skandalopetra dive and the Fernez diving system. Bengt Borjeson was very generous to Kalymnos and it's history and gave KALYMNOS CINEMA CLUB the right to subtitle and distribute his film. The photos are from Bengt's visit in Kalymnos and the projection of his film "Sponge Divers" by KALYMNOS CINEMA CLUB during Kalymnos Diving Festival 2005. |
