The Ocean Film Festival shines a light on Earth’s oceans when it comes to Islington as part of its world tour.

Now in its 10th year, the Ocean Film Festival celebrates the planet’s oceans and invites audiences to plunge into a night of ocean adventure, filled with weird marine creature, water sports and natural wonder.

Held at Islington’s Union Chapel October 24, 26 and 27, each evenings will screen a collection of short films, introduced by a compere. There will also be prize giveaways throughout the evenings.

Highlights include  Broken Breath, which follows Italian free-diving champion Mike Maric, who was at the top of his sport when a tragic accident left his world shattered; Bluetits, which looks at a the swimming group Bluetits which now has around 100,000 participants worldwide; and The Custodians, that centres around the Scots restoring their local waters, one seagrass bed at a time.

Festival founder Jemima Robinson said: “We started the Ocean Film Festival World Tour with big dreams, not only to inspire the world to explore and enjoy our oceans, but also to protect and respect them.

“With a passion for film and all things ocean, I wanted the Ocean Film Festival World Tour to become an avenue for bringing people together to celebrate Mother Nature. We have done this through sharing unique stories from independent filmmakers from around the globe, and now set our sights towards the next 10 years.”
