The Ocean Film Festival World Tour brings together a collection of nine short and medium-length films from both Australian and international independent filmmakers, each with a distinct viewpoint of life in, on and around the sea. The intriguing roster of entertainment is designed to document in equal parts the beauty and power of the ocean – because as we all know, she’s a very mysterious mistress. The films explore a broad range of topics told from differing perspectives – you can learn more about the oceanic environment, marine creatures, surfing, coastal cultures and all-around ocean lovers.

When it comes to the visuals of the Ocean Film Festival World Tour, the filmmakers have taken advantage of many different styles, ensuring each piece in the program is unique and inspiring. What you can expect across the board is beautiful cinematography captured from both in and out of the water. The festival is jam-packed with never-before-seen footage, fascinating interviews and insightful narrations about the big blue. It’s not just about the eye candy – proceeds from certain festival events support a range of important partners working to keep our oceans safe and clean – think the Australian Marine Conservation Society, the Project AWARE Foundation and Sea Shepherd Australia.
