Back After a Sold-Out Year, The Ocean Film Festival Returns to Harbor Branch

The International Ocean Film Festival's Florida Tour sold out FAU Harbor Branch last year, and if the trend holds, tickets will go fast. The fourth edition takes place this Saturday, June 6 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

$40 per ticket, advance purchase only. See our article on last year's festival here.

Ten films, three blocks, filmmakers from a dozen countries. The standouts: a novice Italian diver who goes to Norway to film wolffish and finds a seafloor stripped of its kelp forests instead, and a team of Jamaican fishers and scientists piecing a coral reef back together after bleaching took it apart. Sylvia Earle opens the program with four minutes on the 30×30 ocean protection target.

The International Ocean Film Festival has been running for 23 years, starting in San Francisco in 2004 with the premise that independent film is one of the most effective tools for building public understanding of the ocean. The Florida Tour brings that program to Harbor Branch's doorstep.
