The 2025 Ocean Film Festival World Tour will be making a splash in South Hedland on March 15, showcasing the wonder and power of the sea through a curated selection of films from talented independent filmmakers worldwide.
The three-hour program is a deep-dive of ocean stories from across Australia and around the globe, such as the journey of Hawaiian photographer and surfer Mike Coots in “The Call”, surfing empowerment in “We the Surfers” and the ethereal underwater ballet captured in “Aquaballet”.
“This year, we are especially thrilled to showcase three incredible Australian films,” Ocean Film Festival World Tour founder Jemima Robinson said.
“It’s a fantastic accomplishment for Australian filmmakers to have their work celebrated alongside international stories.
“The stunning ‘White Rock’ highlights a bold conservation effort to save Australia’s Great Southern Reef by transforming the ecological crisis into sustainable solutions.
“The poetic and heartfelt ‘Goddess’ offers an ode to the underwater world, inviting audiences to fall in love with the sea’s vibrant life.
“Meanwhile, ‘Astronaut In The Ocean’ profiles bodyboarder Shane Ackerman, whose fearless pursuit of the waves embodies the pure joy of ocean passion.”
Through its stunning cinematography and powerful narratives, the festival aims to inspire a deeper connection with the ocean and encourage audiences to take action to protect this vital ecosystem.
The South Hedland viewing will be at Matt Dann Theatre & Cinema from 7pm on March 15. Tickets can be purchased here.
