The 7th Annual World Whale Film Festival showcases films about the ocean, marine wildlife conservation, Indigenous ecological knowledge, and environmental stewardship submitted by powerful storytellers from around the world.
It raises awareness of marine threats - climate change, vessel collisions with marine life, unsustainable tourism, marine pollution, and bycatch - and solutions to a global audience while raising funds for PWF’s mission of protecting the ocean through science and advocacy, and to inspire environmental stewardship.
Presented by Pacific Whale Foundation (PWF), the 7th Annual World Whale Film Festival (WWFF) in 2023, is a hybrid festival. The 7th Annual WWFF seeks passionate filmmakers to present their films on Maui, Hawai'i the week of June 8, 2022 - World Ocean Day - and in our online film festival from JUNE 8- JULY 31, 2023.
The past 6 years have been a huge success, with sold-out venues!
Ocean Heroes, we look forward to your submissions!
Inspiring Action for a Better, Bluer Future!
