Fire and Water: Making the Avatar Films (Season 1)

Fire and Water: Making the Avatar Films (2025) is a two-part documentary series you can watch online on iFILM. Director Thomas C. Grane goes inside the production of Avatar: The Way of Water — the film that picked up the Oscar for Best Visual Effects and crossed $2.3 billion at the global box office.

James Cameron leads the account, walking through years of development, underwater performance capture, and the technical choices that shaped the film's look. Zoe Saldana, Sam Worthington, Jon Landau, Steven Lang, and others speak on camera — not in polished press-tour clips, but with access to actual production footage and concept art from the build.

Built for viewers who want to understand how movies get made, not just that they do. Stream Fire and Water: Making the Avatar Films online on iFILM.
