The Silent World <=SEP=> The Silent World ( Le Monde du silence ) is a 1956 French documentary film co-directed by the famed French oceanographer Jacques-Yves Cousteau and a young Louis Malle . The Silent World is noted as one of the first films to use underwater cinematography to show the ocean depths in color . Its title derives from Cousteau 's 1953 book The Silent World : A Story of Undersea Discovery and Adventure . It was released in the United States by Columbia Pictures .   The film was shot aboard the ship Calypso . Cousteau and his team of divers shot 25 kilometers of film over two years in the Mediterranean Sea , the Persian Gulf , the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean , of which 2.5 kilometers were included in the finished documentary .   The film later faced criticism for environmental damage done during the filmmaking . In one scene , the crew of the Calypso massacre a school of sharks that were drawn to the carcass of a baby whale , which itself had been mortally injured by the crew , albeit accidentally ( Cousteau had the ship driven into a pod of whales to get a close-up view , striking one whale in the process before the baby was lacerated by the prop . ) In another , Cousteau uses dynamite near a coral reef in order to make a more complete census of the marine life in its vicinity . Cousteau later became more environmentally conscious , involved in marine conservation , and was even called `` the father of the environmental movement '' by Ted Turner .   The Silent World was the first of Cousteau 's documentary films to win an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature ; World Without Sun also won in 1964 . The film also won the Palme d'Or award at the 1956 Cannes Film Festival , being the only documentary film to win the award until Michael Moore 's Fahrenheit 9/11 repeated the feat in 2004 .
