Celebrating its 6th Anniversary in 2009, The San Francisco Ocean Film Festival is the premier event in North America dedicated to using film to enhance public appreciation for our marine ecosystems. The festival was the first of its kind in North America and the second in the world, behind the reputable Festival International du Film Maritime, D'Exploration et D'Environnement in Toulon, France.

For the past four years the organization has produced an acclaimed festival of ocean-themed films from all over the world that are largely unavailable to the general public. Themes range from ocean science and industry to sports and adventure. The films are not only intended to entertain the audience, but more importantly, to educate and encourage active participation in ocean-specific environmental efforts.
