The Ocean Film Festival World Tour will visit venues across the UK from September to November 2025.

The festival will showcase short films celebrating the sea, from big wave surfing to freediving and extreme bodyboarding.

Tour director Nell Teasdale said: “The Ocean Film Festival is more than just a film event; it’s a celebration of our planet’s blue heart.”

Highlights include Let Me Live, following Cornish surfer Tom Lowe; Aquaballet, a freediving performance in French Polynesia; and Diving into the Darkness, charting Jill Heinerth’s legendary cave dives.

Each screening will feature a compère and prize giveaways. The event is in its 12th year in the UK, having begun in Australia.
