CULTURE EDITION
Ocean Film Festival World Tour comes to Cambridge All aboard for a big-screen ocean adventure! The Ocean Film Festival World Tour is set to bring a new collection of thrilling ocean- themed films to venues around the UK this autumn, including Cambridge’s West Road Concert Hall. Starring gripping ocean adventures and mesmerising marine life, the festival will showcase the wonder and power of the sea through a selection of short films from around the world. “The Ocean Film Festival is more than just a film event; it’s a celebration of our planet’s blue heart,” says tour director Nell Teasdale. “The festival aims to inspire a deeper connection with the sea, offering a deep dive into the heart of our oceans and the lives of those who cherish them.” The 2025 film line-up includes Let Me Live , which follows Tom Lowe, a legendary big wave surfer from Cornwall, plus films about freediving, extreme bodyboarding and more. The inspirational documentaries will be introduced by a compere, and each screening will see a free prize giveaway to win ocean-related goodies. “Whether you’re a seasoned ocean enthusiast, a weekend surfer or someone who marvels at the mysteries of the deep, this festival promises an unforgettable cinematic journey,” Nell continues. The Ocean Film Festival will take place on 10 October. To secure your tickets, visit oceanfilmfestival.co.uk
