The festival will come to Union Chapel in Islington for a run of films from Tuesday October 18 to Friday October 21.

It celebrates the planet's oceans with a collection of short films on big wave surfing, tiger shark conservation, peculiar sea creatures and seafaring safaris.

Brought to the UK with help from the Marine Conservation Society and Surfers Against Sewage, the festival started in Australia with the aim of encouraging people to treat our oceans with a bit more love and attention by engendering an enjoyment and respect for them.

As well as the films, punters are in for prize giveaways, with ocean-related goodies (naturally) to be won.
