With 5 screenings in 3 days, the Festival's 18 selections include local gems like Nigel Markham’s Taking Stock, Barbara Doran’s A Harbour Symphony and Anne Troake’s My Ancestors were Rogues and Murderers, playing along with international treasures like The Sea (Iceland), Cry Sea (Senegal), and concludes with the powerful film on ocean acidification, A Sea Change (Norway). There’s also special Student Matinees with selections for young people playing in their own schools.
