Get ready for the 2016 BLUE Ocean Film Festival and Conservation Summit
Nothing is more effective than entertainment in engaging the world in the most pressing issues of our time.
The BLUE Ocean Film Festival & Conservation Summit (BLUE) has captured the attention of professionals and the public alike by going beyond film and exploring new mediums.
The event showcases the world’s best ocean media and the people who create it. Every year, alternately between Monacao and Tampa Bay/St Pete, BLUE is the watering hole of community leaders, inventors, governments, students, educators, filmmakers, explorers, producers, artists, scientists and celebrities who gather to meet each other, see what’s new, and share thoughts on how to amplify the voice of the ocean.
All kinds of projects and collaborations have sprung from BLUE. Governments are working with scientists, working with filmmakers, working with artists, working with media, all in the best interest of our life-support system, the majority of the planet which is blue. Together we are making history by making media.
Every year, alternating between Monaco and Tampa Bay/St Pete, ocean all-stars strengthen partnerships and build new ones. There is no ocean gathering in the world like BLUE where incredible things magically happen. Meanwhile, BLUE On Tour makes its rounds throughout the world expanding the reach of the films.
Dr. Sylvia Earle has often said that this may be the most important ten years in the next 10,000. We now know more about the ocean than in any time in history. We can actual do something, no matter who we are. So, why wait? Come to BLUE!
“More than films, more than a celebration of all things wet, the BLUE Ocean Film Festival brings together a potent mix of artists, scientists, conservationists, decision makers, industry leaders, lively kids and more. Come to be in the company of kindred spirits and make useful contacts. Come to be entertained, or inspired or informed. Come to have a good time, whatever strums your heartstrings, just don’t miss out.” Dr. Sylvia Earle
