About the Festival. BLUE Ocean Film Festival is a global film festival and conservation summit for underwater filmmakers and marine researchers. A simultaneous community festival will share the best of the film competition with the public, and will include presentations from the filmmakers and scientists who created them. Following the festival a selection of winning films will tour the world, providing those who may not otherwise have access to these great films, a chance to learn more about our oceans. The goal of BLUE Ocean Film Festival is to share at all levels, the latest insights on what is happening in our oceans, and to provide tangible ways people can make a difference.
