A 160-minute screening of short films from the Ocean Film Festival World Tour about marine life and ocean exploration, recommended for ages 12 and over.
The Ocean Film Festival World Tour comes to Taliesin Arts Centre on Friday 30 October, with the screening starting at 7:30pm. It's put on by the same team behind the Banff Mountain Film Festival UK & Ireland tour, and this time the focus shifts from the peaks to the depths. The night is built around a new collection of ocean films from around the world, so it's a fresh set of shorts rather than a repeat of previous years.
What you'll see is a mix of breathtaking marine life and wild seafaring voyages, all held together as a cinematic celebration of the oceans. The films take you down into some of the planet's rarely explored depths, and then back up to the surface to follow the surfers, paddlers, divers and scientists who've dedicated their lives to answering the call of the sea. It's a broad reach—from the deep water to the people who spend their time in it.
The screening runs for 160 minutes, so it's a proper night in the cinema rather than a quick stop. It's recommended for ages 12 and over, which makes it an easy one to bring a teenager along to. The venue is Taliesin Arts Centre, which opened at the heart of Swansea University's Singleton Campus in June 1984 and celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2024. It's owned and managed by the university and recognised by the Arts Council of Wales as a Regional Performing Arts Centre, staging live music, dance, drama, broadcast and film year round.
