Film, food and faux leather at the Festival Theatre in September
3 SEPTEMBER
Ocean Film Festival 2021
Dive into a night of maritime adventure with a new collection of ocean-themed films. Returning as a live theatre tour, the festival features a selection of short films starring wild seafaring voyages, extreme water sports and marine conservation from the least explored depths of the planet including an iceberg-dodging kayak expedition and the extreme sport of skimboarding. Originating in Australia, the festival aims to inspire audiences to explore, respect, protect and enjoy the seas, and each screening will include a free prize giveaway to win ocean-related goodies. None of the films on the live tour have been shown in the virtual events aired during lockdown.
