The Ocean Film Festival World Tour has added a stop to Launceston, thanks to numerous requests and interest.
Festival director Jemima Robertson said the films were selected from a pool of submissions from across Australia and the world.
“These films are made by surfers, divers, sailors, and swimmers who feel compelled to share their connection to the water with us,” she said.
“Through two hours of deep-water spear-fishing, big-wave riding, cross-ocean rowing, and sailing a backyard hobby yacht from England to Auckland, we realise that this love we have for the ocean – as Australians – is a global and fundamentally human emotion.”
Films include a 20-minute documentary on big wave surfers searching for the world’s biggest wave, a plan to row from Namibia to Brazil in a second-hand rowing boat, and an 11-year connection to a great white shark.
The festival will be at The Tramsheds on Friday March 16, from 7pm.
Book tickets online at the Ocean Film Festival website.
