Ocean Film Festival Returns to the UK
This coming fall season, UK audiences will be able to immerse themselves in the wonders of the ocean without getting their feet wet!
After a highly successful first tour in 2014, the Ocean Festival World Tour is returning to the UK. The festival, which originates in Australia, features a brand new selection of the world’s most captivating ocean-themed short films and will be shown in 24 towns and cities across the UK.
Designed to mesmerise and enthral, the Ocean Film Festival World Tour showcases more than two hours of sublime footage taken above and below the water’s surface. The films document the beauty and power of the ocean and celebrate the divers, surfers, swimmers and oceanographers who live for the sea’s salt spray, chase the crests of waves, and marvel at the mysteries of the big blue.
The 2015 UK Ocean Film Festival World Tour will donate 25p from every ticket sold to support ocean conservation.
