Surf Survivors, Friendly Sharks, and Alaskan Plastic: The 2022 Ocean Film Festival
This summer, many families spent their first vacation abroad since the start of the pandemic. But as fall sets in and the cost of living crisis deepens, that week or two by the sea may soon seem like a distant memory. The timing is therefore perfect for the British tour of the Ocean Film festival. Nell Teasdale, the tour director, says audiences can "dive into a night of wild sea voyages and amazing marine life, without getting their feet wet".
An offshoot of the Banff Mountain Film Festival, the Ocean Film Festival began in Australia in 2012 with the hope of inspiring people to enjoy, explore and respect the sea. This is the ninth year that the festival has been on tour in the UK. over the next two and a half months, screenings will take place in locations ranging from Inverness in the Highlands to Truro in Cornwall. The tour will raise funds for two charities that help protect the oceans: the Marine Conservation Society and Surfers Against Sewage.
