Ocean Film Festival World Tour

A diver underwater with a sea creature

About

Dive into a night of marine adventure as the Ocean Film Festival World Tour arrives at Lighthouse Poole on Saturday 21 September with new collection of thrilling ocean-themed films.

Now in its 11th year of touring the UK, the Ocean Film Festival is a celebration of the planet’s oceans, with wild seafaring voyages and fascinating marine-life – up on the big screen!

The Ocean Film Festival was created in Australia to inspire people to enjoy, explore and protect our oceans. The inspirational short films are introduced by a compère, and each screening will see a free prize giveaway to win ocean-related goodies.

Film highlights include:

ICE MAIDEN

Adventurer Lisa Blair is embarking on a voyage to become the first woman to sail solo, nonstop and unassisted around Antarctica. When unexpected and life-threatening weather conditions cause catastrophe, Lisa needs to dig into every ounce of courage, determination and self-belief to not only finish the journey, but survive in the most dangerous waters on the planet. An epic tale of perseverance, pushing limits and believing you can achieve something even when you don’t know how.

THE WHALE SONG

Delve into the enigmatic communication of humpback whales. Beyond their renowned songs lies a thrilling revelation – these majestic creatures ingeniously remix each other's tunes, passing melodies around the world’s oceans. The Whale Song draws a parallel between the musical genius of DJ Sam Feldt and the whales' haunting harmonies. As Sam transforms whale songs into chart-topping human beats, an extraordinary synergy between nature and art unfolds.

TESS FELIX: PORTRAIT OF AN ARTIST

California-based artist Tess Felix uses plastic debris to create mosaic portraits as a vibrant response to the perilous state of our oceans. Tess explores serious issues with imagination and humour, aiming to spark curiosity and imagination. Through the forgotten and unusual remnants of everyday life, Tess uses art to speak of the places, people and ocean that she loves.
