Dive into the Depths of the 11th Annual Ocean Film Festival World Tour – A Celebration of the Sea from Above and Below

The Ocean Film Festival World Tour, now in its 11th year, is back this in 2024 with a breath-taking lineup of awe-inspiring films that explore the wonders of the ocean from both aerial and underwater perspectives. This year promises to be the most exhilarating yet, with seven films set to grace the silver screen.

One of the highlights of the festival is the gripping tale of record breaking sailor Lisa Blair in her film "Ice Maiden." Embarking on a daring solo adventure, Lisa sets out to achieve the unprecedented feat of becoming the first woman to sail solo, non-stop, and unassisted around Antarctica. This treacherous journey challenges not only the limits of human endurance but also the unpredictability of the Southern Ocean's perilous conditions.

Jemima Robinson, Founder and CEO of the Ocean Film Festival World Tour, expressed her enthusiasm for this year's event, stating, "As we embark on our 11th year, the Ocean Film Festival Tour continues to be a platform for storytelling that brings the beauty, challenges, and importance of our oceans to audiences around the world. This year's lineup is a testament to the incredible journeys, talents, and environmental messages that resonate with us all. We are thrilled to share these inspiring films and celebrate the magic of the ocean with our dedicated audience."

This year's lineup promises to captivate audiences with breathtaking cinematography, compelling narratives, and a celebration of the boundless beauty and challenges of the world's oceans.

Join us on this exhilarating voyage as we celebrate the 11th year of the Ocean Film Festival Tour, where the sea comes alive on the big screen.
