Ocean Film Festival World Tour 2022
Dive into a festival filled with sea-focused cinema.
Overview
UPDATE, MARCH 2, 2022: Due to flooding in Brisbane, Ocean Film Festival World Tour's 2022 stop at Brisbane Powerhouse has been postponed until Thursday, June 16–Saturday, June 18, 2022. This article has been updated to reflect that change.
There's something oh-so-relaxing about staring at the sea, even if you're feasting your eyes on the water via the big screen. That's the concept behind the Ocean Film Festival Australia. You can't always spend all your time at the beach, by the river or in a pool — but you can spend an evening peering at the next best thing in a cinema.
From Thursday, June 16–Saturday, June 18, the festival will unleash a cinematic feast of water-focused wonders onto the silver screen at Brisbane Powerhouse. Sessions screen at 7pm each night, and there's a 2.30pm matinee on the Saturday as well.
Film-wise, viewers will spend time both above and below the ocean's surface thanks to a compilation of shorts from around the world. Expect to chase big waves, explore a range of sea life and get a hefty ocean rush, plus a heap of other sea adventures.
The program is united by a love of the ocean, an appreciation of the creatures who dwell in its waters and a curiosity to explore the substance that comprises more than two-thirds of the earth. It's the next best thing to diving in, all without getting wet.
