21st Annual International Ocean Film Festival Tickets Selling Now

We’re water nerds. We admit it. Anything to do with H2O, particularly if it’s the ocean, gets our interest and attention. In this instance, we’re talking about the 21st Annual International Ocean Film Festival (IOFF), which is coming to San Francisco next month. Yes, it’s only the beginning of March, but festival tickets are on sale now, and if you buy today you can take advantage of the “early bird” sale.

The International Ocean Film Foundation Off the Reef Annual Benefit is on Thursday, March 14.

Sixteen US-based filmmakers are listed in this year’s program, including Rachel Burnett — 841 (Marine Sciences/Wildlife), Nicole Gormley — Daughter of the Sea (Exploration), Tyler Schiffman — A Disappearing Forest, and Chelsea J Jolly — With the Tide (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion). These are only a handful of the 33 films on the program covering everything from nature to culture and sport.

The 21st Annual International Ocean Film Festival has been endorsed by the 2021-2030 United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development. The main motivation for this global effort is to support efforts to reverse the cycle of decline in ocean health and create improved conditions for sustainable development of the ocean.

The IOFF received a record number of submissions representing more than 38 countries for this year’s program. “We are in awe of the amazing skills and talent, the depths of compassionate storytelling, and the thoughtful consideration of subject matter expressed by filmmakers from around the world,” the IOFF website says. “It has been an honor to experience the beauty of the ocean through your lens and your stories. We wish everyone all the best.”
