The International Ocean Institute (IOI-Canada) along with its partners (WWF-Canada, Canadian Wildlife Federation, Ecology Action Centre, Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society – Nova Scotia Chapter, Museum of Natural History, Maritime Museum of the Atlantic, Marine Affairs – Dalhousie University) are proud to present its 4th Annual Oceans Film Festival in June 2013!
Building on the success of the past three years, the goal of the festival is to educate and inspire individuals about ocean and coastal issues that are ongoing in the world around us and to promote responsible ocean governance and the stewardship and sustainable use of coastal and ocean resources in Canada.
The festival will take place on three consecutive Wednesday evenings in June, the 12th, 19th and 26th, with free film screenings, short presentations, and time for open discussion. Our programme for this year is as follows:
June 26th“Planet Ocean”
By: Yann Arthus Bertrand and Michael Pitiot
A brilliant 90-minute documentary filmed by directors Yann Arthus-Bertrand and Michael Pitiot, along with their team in partnership with OMEGA and with the scientific support of Tara Expeditions, captures the extraordinary images of our remarkable oceans – the source of all life on our planet. Planet Ocean, presented at Earth Summit 2012 in Rio de Janeiro (RIO+20), Brazil in June, is a collaborative film that aims to explain some of the planet’s greatest natural mysteries and highlights how essential it is that mankind learns to live in harmony with our oceans.
