As new technology moves into the classroom, community stations, and
home computers, young people are finding their voice, expressing their
creativity, and building their academic skills at the same time.
To nurture our youth's interpretation of their commitment to preserving our
coral reefs, beaches, fish populations, and to show the solutions to
protect and restore our ocean resources for future generations, we are
encouraging new film makers to participate. Check out our new project
on H2omovies and our student winners on the Fun Stuff Page.
Our Essence is pure adrenalin.
We feel the salt water rush in our veins when we view
authentic, provocative, creative spark.
We are proud to announce the next generation of filmmakers will have the
opportunity to have their work seen by a broader audience.
3G will allow us to make short films available over the Internet and cellular
platforms. H2o Movies is the next evolution for the Hawaii Ocean Film
Festival. Film makers can send shorts, trailers, or teasers of their
projects to this site, for viewing.
This year, we are partnering with Hale Halawai `Ohana `O Hanalei to get
more young people into the groove. Stop by the Hanalei Community
Center for more info.
Opening Night is Sat. July 22nd under the stars & on the Big Screen
Unlike other film festivals, we realized that filmmakers have almost no venues for films about the ocean.
We encourage action films about surfing, kite boarding, sailing, paddling, voyaging, and any water sport or
adventure that takes place on the ocean. We want to hear the stories that connect us.
Showcasing films with a broad geographic diversity and importance to young film makers,
we are devoted to films without domestic theatrical distribution, first-time directors, and low budgets.
In addition to fiction features, shorts, documentaries, and experimental films, we will actively pursue the action
sports films, a genre that is rarely accepted at other film festivals.
We will show more shorts than features.
