THE wonders of the ocean will be brought to the big screen at Forum Theatre, Malvern on Tuesday, October 28.

Eleven of the world's most captivating ocean themed short films will be screened during The International Ocean Film Festival is set to make a splash at Malvern Theatres on Tuesday 28th October.

The festival, which originated in Australia, has been designed to mesmerise and enthral as it showcases more than two hours of sublime footage taken above and below the water’s surface.

The films document the beauty and power of the ocean, and celebrate the divers, surfers, swimmers and oceanographers who live for the sea’s salt spray, who chase the crests of waves and who marvel at the mysteries of the big blue.

Heart-stopping shots of surfers riding wild waves and adrenalin-inducing scenes of divers swimming with white sharks will leave audiences on the edges of their seats.

The films also encourage viewers to dive head first into ocean culture as the festival is filled with touching interviews and insightful narrations from the characters whose lives are inspired by the ocean.

Each of the festival’s films conveys a deep respect and appreciation for the world’s oceans and the creatures that call them home. A truly inspiring and thought-provoking evening.

The festival begins at 7.30pm and tickets, costing £14, are available by calling 01684 892277.
