San Francisco International Ocean Film Festival Announces 2016 Dates - March 10-13, 2016
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) June 08, 2015 -- Launched in 2004, the festival is dedicated to using film as a medium to increase public awareness of the environmental, social and cultural importance of marine ecosystems and foster a spirit of ocean stewardship.
“With the San Francisco Bay as our backdrop, we’re excited to announce the dates for our thirteenth consecutive year of bringing the best independent ocean films from around the world to the big screen. We’re thrilled to be returning to Cowell Theater and look forward to hosting a variety of film subject matter and opportunities for festival goers to learn more about the world’s ocean, marine life, ocean sports, and current conservation and social issues related to the ocean,” said Executive Director Ana Blanco.
The four-day festival will feature films from an international array of filmmakers and is organized as a series of programs that feature riveting ocean related films and in-depth discussions with filmmakers and content experts, creating a unique public forum on the environmental, social and cultural importance of the world’s ocean and marine resources. In addition to the thousands who will attend the film programs, the festival will be hosting an extensive free education program that reaches nearly 1,000 middle school and high school students, as well as the 5th Annual Student Film Competition for students in 6th – 12th grade.
The San Francisco International Ocean Film Festival will open the Call for Submissions for films on July 1, 2015. The deadline for submissions is November 30, 2015. Seeking ocean related films that educate, entertain or inspire, the festival accepts films from any genre – documentary, narrative, short, or animation – of any length.
