A celebration of ocean stories from conservation’s frontline

Is your organisation working with inspiring ocean leaders?
Have you captured their story in film?
Want to get more eyes on your film and connect with like-minded people?

Submit to the Ocean Guardians Film Festival today - an online celebration of ocean stories - told by those closest to the action.

Hosted by Blue Ventures (blueventures.org) in collaboration with aligned partner organisations, this event aims to inspire, educate, and mobilise support towards sustainable conservation practices and the good use of film to share stories. The event will centre around exclusive film screenings - produced by and for community-based ocean conservation and human rights organisations.

We're also pairing this festival with a special online session featuring igniting talks from experts on conservation film. Sign up for that event at tokotelo.blueventures.org

    The Festival was well organized and provided a platform to the exhibition of Ocean related short films.
    The results were excellent and I hope the festival continues through the next years.
