Random Good Unpacks World's Largest Floral Reef at Paris Ocean Festival
The company directed 100% of ticket proceeds to ocean conservation programs. A four-day event combined film, science panels and the debut of a floral reef installation at the Carrousel du Louvre.
Random Good served as the presenting sponsor of the 7th annual Ocean Days Festival, which moved to Paris this year after previous editions in Bordeaux. The four-day event, held September 27–30 under the High Patronage of the President of the French Republic, combined film screenings, science panels, art installations and music performances around a single theme: ocean conservation.
The company directed 100% of ticket proceeds to its global environmental programs, which fund ocean conservation research, environmental filmmaking and scientific work.
The festival's centerpiece came on Tuesday, September 29, when Random Good unveiled what it called the world's largest Floral Reef at the Carrousel du Louvre, beneath the Inverted Pyramid. Built entirely from flowers and plants, the installation recreated the color and complexity of a living coral reef. It also served as the backdrop for an exhibition of wildlife photography by Cristina Mittermeier and Paul Nicklen, whose work has long shaped Random Good's conservation approach.
The evening opened with a private Forum hosted by environmental journalist Hugo Clément, featuring scientists, explorers and athletes. From 22:00 to 01:00, the doors opened to the public for an electronic music afterparty with Synapson, Upsilone and Lancelot.
"We were thrilled to be part of Ocean Days in Paris," said Randy Gebhardt, founder and CEO of Random Good. "People protect what they love, and film, music and art are how you get them to fall in love with the ocean. Our documentary The Last Dive opened the festival on Sunday, and the Floral Reef night was about bringing people together and showing that caring for the planet isn't only for activists. It belongs to everyone."
The festival opened Sunday at MK2 Odéon Saint-Germain with a sold-out screening of The Last Dive, a Random Good-supported marine documentary, followed by a Q&A with the filmmakers. Monday's science panels at the Maison de l'Océan ran under the theme "The Ocean is calling us. Who is still listening?" The festival closed Wednesday at the Atelier des Lumières with an evening of immersive marine visuals and digital art.
Random Good will soon announce a U.S. theatrical tour and wide release for The Last Dive, following its sold-out premiere in San Diego and its Paris debut.
