The Beneath the Waves Film Festival is an annual science and film communication event that aims to encourage, inspire, and educate scientists, advocates, and the general public to produce and promote open-access, engaging marine-issue documentaries. Our goal is to facilitate widespread science communication by bringing together marine films from around the world for open discussion, while also providing hands-on educational opportunities for researchers interested in film and media outreach. This year we are proud to announce the final selections for the film festival held in Norfolk, Virginia March 21-24, in conjunction with the 41st Benthic Ecology Meeting hosted by Old Dominion University.
