A FILM festival exploring the unknown world of the deep oceans is coming to Abingdon.
The Ocean Film Festival is back for autumn 2021 with a brand-new collection of the world’s most inspirational ocean-themed films, from below and above the surface.
The festival will be returning as a live theatre tour featuring a selection of short films starring wild seafaring voyages, extreme watersports and marine conservation from the least explored depths of the planet.
This year’s line-up includes an iceberg-dodging kayak expedition, the extreme sport of skimboarding and much more.
Tour director Nell Teasdale said: “We can’t wait to set sail back into theatres with our latest inspirational collection of ocean films.
“Witness intrepid human-powered challenges, mind-boggling marine life and incredible ocean cinematography, without getting your feet wet.”
The Ocean Film Festival originated in Australia, with the aim of inspiring people to explore, respect, enjoy and protect the oceans.
As well as mesmerising films, each screening will see a free prize giveaway to win ocean-related goodies.
Mr Teasdale said: “We’re so excited to share our latest collection of films and to bring together ocean-loving communities around the UK. So dive into a night of ocean adventure – up on the big screen.”
The film festival will be shown at Amey Theatre in Abingdon on September 25.
