San Francisco Ocean Film Festival
We encourage you to attend the SFOFF, which is coming up February 19-22, 2009.

Now in its sixth year, the San Francisco Ocean Film Festival returns to present more than 35 documentary, fictional, and animated films from around the world. The films, many largely not available to the public, are intended not only to entertain the audience but, more importantly to educate and encourage active participation in ocean conservation.

To achieve this goal, each program is followed by in-depth discussions with filmmakers and content experts, creating a unique public forum on the environmental, social, and cultural importance of marine resources. SFOFF 2009 will attract more than 4,500 people to one of the most anticipated and inclusive ocean events of the year.
