Through thought-provoking films and discussion, the festival immerses participants in a greater understanding and awareness of the ocean, culture and self. Informative Q&A sessions after many films offer viewers the opportunity to delve deeper into the film’s message and production while posing questions to filmmakers.
Last year’s festival offered more than 60 Q&As and a dozen casual breakfast talks with filmmakers and experts associated with film topics.
“The Waimea Ocean Film Festival engages, educates and inspires attendees in a celebration of ocean and island culture,†Tania Howard, Ocean Film founder and director, said. “It is about all that we love about Hawai‘i.â€
Festival passes will go on sale in September, along with early bird rates designed for kama‘aina.
