The third edition of the Sea Film Festival seeks to convene documentary film productions that have the seas and oceans as a common thread, addressing their themes from a scientific, cultural, or artistic point of view.

In a global scenario of social and economic crises, climate change, and loss of biodiversity and habitats, it is becoming increasingly necessary to understand and respect the oceans and seas better and value their existence and importance for the present and future of humanity and the planet.
