Overview
The International OCEAN FILM TOUR brings the best ocean adventures and environmental documentaries to the big screen. Inspiring stories, breath-taking images and water sports action are professionally presented in select venues. Each year we curate a unique program of 5 – 7 films that combines documentaries with film shorts, action sports with environmentalism, and fascinating stories with stunning pictures from above and below the surface. All films share one common theme: a deep connection to the ocean. This 2-hour compilation will be shown at about 200 events worldwide. We are looking forward to watching your ocean film submissions and curating a new program of our International OCEAN FILM TOUR. Don’t hesitate to submit your feature-length documentary. Once your film has been selected, we offer to work in close consultation with the filmmakers to create a special edited version that fits into our format. Our company Moving Adventures focuses on the captivating world of sports, nature, and adventure, and has more than 20 years of experience creating and organizing film tours: e.g. the European Outdoor Film Tour, International Ocean Film Tour and the Banff Mountain Film Festival World Tour.
