Mysailing in partnership with Multihull Central, WASPcam, Pantaenius Insurance and All Marine Spares are proud to the present the SEAbbatical Short Film Festival. We are searching for the world's best cruising short films shot in the spirit of adventure and capturing the most inspirational experiences caught on camera while cruising on some of the worlds most breathtaking bodies of water.
Video entries are open worldwide to anyone who has filmed an experience, culture, destination and wildlife above or below the water that tells a good story of their voyage or 'SEAbbatical'. You may be an aspiring filmmaker, or perhaps someone who was in the right place at the right time with the red light flashing.
With the rapid rise of small but technically capable cameras and affordable editing software, anyone who goes cruising is now capable of producing quite stunning videos of life at sea. However it's getting to these remote destinations that makes the footage and stories so special and so difficult to capture. We want to celebrate and recognise the videos and films of those living their dream of adventure on the ocean and in the process, inspiring a new generation to follow.
The judges will select the best films which will be showcased on the big screen at the Village Theatre on the opening night of the Sanctuary Cove Boat Show on May 25 2017. The top films will be awarded the prestigious SEAbbatical Short Film Festival "Brass Bell" plus prizes including a WASPcam.
The top films will be awarded the prestigious SEAbbatical Short Film Festival “Brass Bell” plus a share of over $2000 worth of prizes, including a WASPcam.
In addition to these awesome prizes, the winner will also benefit from unbeatable exposure that only MySailing and our sponsors can offer.
