The Ocean Film Festival World Tour is bringing a night of thrilling ocean-themed films to venues around the UK this autumn.
The Ocean Film Festival is a collection of short films celebrating the wonder and power of the sea. This year’s film line-up will be of particular interest to scuba divers as it features Diving into Darkness, a film about Canadian cave diving legend Jill Heinerth.
Other features include a short film about a Cornish big wave surfer, freediving with mesmerising marine life, extreme bodyboarding and a study of orcas in the Arctic.
The tour starts in Edinburgh on 6 September and will visit movie theatres around the UK until late November.
The festival is also available in the UK and Ireland as a virtual edition for streaming at home, which includes some bonus content, an ocean family quiz and prize giveaways.
‘The Ocean Film Festival is more than just a film event; it’s a celebration of our planet’s blue heart,’ says tour director Nell Teasdale. ‘The festival aims to inspire a deeper connection with the sea, offering a deep dive into the heart of our oceans and the lives of those who cherish them.’
Check out some of the highlights below and head to www.oceanfilmfestival.co.uk for more information and to book tickets.
Diving Into Darkness
Widely regarded as one of the world’s greatest living cave divers, Jill Heinerth has been involved in the most legendary diving expeditions of all time, from surveying the world’s longest caves in Mexico to discovering giant iceberg caves in Antarctica.
Juxtaposed with these hair-raising dives are candid interviews and flashbacks to her younger years, revealing that Jill’s journey is as much about inner exploration as it is about pushing the boundaries of the known world.
Souls
Souls is the memoir of six extraordinary individuals whose lives have been deeply intertwined with the ocean. Featuring explorers, scientists and underwater photographers, these powerhouses have set countless records and pioneered groundbreaking achievements.
Souls shares their stories, experiences and challenges, with the primary mission of inspiring future generations of ocean advocates.
Astronaut in the Ocean
Bodyboarding is often seen as surfing’s uncool sibling… but that’s about to change. Bodyboarder Shane Ackerman catches daunting waves that others shy away from.
While pro surfers bask in fame and fortune, Shane is a crane operator by day, proving that passion transcends financial reward. For him, work is merely a means to an end – a way to fund the moments of absolute liberation found on his bodyboard.
Orcas in the Arctic
Deep in the Arctic Circle, a team of researchers are following the largest gathering of killer whales in the world. Narrator Alexandra Johnston joins marine conservationists and whale-watching vessels in their exploration of these magnificent creatures, aiming to understand what makes this population so unique, and their critical role in the Arctic ecosystem.
