The Ocean Film Festival World Tour is bringing a new collection of the world’s best ocean-themed films to Cornwall this September.
From big wave surfing to tiger shark conservation, the Ocean Film Festival is a cinematic celebration of the planet’s oceans, with inspirational short films from above and beneath the waves.
The festival will take place at the Hall for Cornwall in Truro on Monday, September 22 as well as at the Corn Exchange in Exeter on Sunday, September 21.
Tour Director Nell Teasdale said: "Dive into a night of wild seafaring voyages and astounding marine life – without getting your feet wet!
"We’re so excited to be bringing this brand-new collection of captivating films to ocean-loving audiences around the UK – and we guarantee you’ll be inspired to have an ocean adventure of your
own too."
For 2022, the Ocean Film Festival will be working with PADI, the world’s largest diver organisation, as presenting partner.
Rachel Croft, marketing manager at PADI, said: "PADI enables people around the world to seek adventure and save the ocean through underwater education, life-changing experiences and travel.
"By partnering with Ocean Film Festival UK Tour, we hope to engage British ocean lovers and adventurers in the wonder of scuba diving!
"Both PADI and Ocean Film Festival are advocates of the ocean and we both strive to bring people together to celebrate and protect our amazing ocean planet.
"Partnering with likeminded organisations like Ocean Film Festival enables us to unite our passions and work together towards a healthy future for people and planet."
The Ocean Film Festival originated in Australia, with the aim of inspiring people to explore, respect, enjoy and protect the oceans.
As well as captivating films, each screening will see a free prize giveaway to win ocean-related goodies.
