On behalf of the NGO DEEPWAVE e.V., we are organizing a short film festival and panel discussion for the protection of the ocean. The festival is going to take place at the Lichtmess cinema. We are working in cooperation with the Friedrich Ebert Foundation .There is no entrance fee for the festival.

Since 2013, DEEPWAVE e.V. and students from Hamburg were conducting the international Beneath the Waves - Filmfestival in Hamburg including a panel discussion with speakers from politics, science and economy.

Given that this festival is not held anymore by the American NGO Beneath the Waves, we are organizing our own filmfestival for the protection of the ocean in 2019.

Therefore, we are looking for short length movies and videos of all genres about the ocean and its protection – politically, rousingly, enlighteningly, documenting, pretty, thrilling.

The submission of films is at no costs. One main topic will be deep sea.
