The Ocean Film Festival World Tour originated in Australia 11 years ago but every year it takes in Britain with a new set of short documentaries. For 2024 it starts on 12 September in Leeds and follows up with 25 more screenings at another 21 venues into November.

The locations are mainly in England but also include Edinburgh, Swansea and Llandudno.

Sponsored by the Marine Conservation Society, PADI and the National Oceanography Centre, this year the tour brings six ocean-themed films to big screens, each one introduced live by a compère. Screenings last more than two hours and each one is accompanied by a prize giveaway.

This year’s line-up starts with The Call (12min): Raised in Hawaii, photographer and surfer Mike Coots forges a deep bond with the ocean, but a shark attack when he is 18 turns him into a passionate shark-conservation advocate, who uses his camera to share their story — This year’s line-up starts with **THE CALL** (12min): Raised in Hawaii, photographer and surfer Mike Coots has forged a deep bond with the ocean, but a shark attack when he was 18 turned him into a passionate shark-conservation advocate, who uses his camera to share their story

Ice Maiden (62min) is the longest of the films, charting the journey of solo adventurer Lisa Blair as she sets out to become the first woman to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around Antarctica. Weather conditions threaten catastrophe, and she has to dig into every last resource to survive and complete the voyage (Dean Koopman) — **ICE MAIDEN** (62min) is the longest of the films, charting the journey of solo adventurer Lisa Blair as she sets out to become the first woman to sail solo, non-stop and unassisted around Antarctica.

The Whale Song (18min) is a documentary fusion of music and nature, delving into the world of humpback whales. It takes in dj Sam Feldt, using whale song to create a dance-floor hit, and is narrated by marine biologist Nan Hauser — **THE WHALE SONG** (18min) is a documentary fusion of music and nature, delving into the world of humpback whales.

Call Of The Cold (11min): Three athletes embark on a multi-sport adventure in Iceland to explore the many forms of water.

LL cool J has recently told the Guardian that the anamatronic shark in Deep Blue Sea almost drowned him. And a former Navy diver has decided to become the first to swim the English channel, on his back.
