Ocean Film Tour Vol. 12

In the organizer's words:

Your evening with the best ocean films of the season

THE film event for everyone who loves the sea and wants 'sea': more heart, more depth, more water - exciting stories about our ocean.

The five new films in the International Ocean Film Tour Volume 12 tell the stories of people who dare to set out and change. Their stories take us out to sea, to rough coasts and to extraordinary encounters in which life becomes intensely tangible. Would you like to sail around the world with the Schwörer family, accompany three Scottish brothers on their Pacific crossing, dive alongside manta rays or chase the wind with a kite and the waves with your camera? Let's go!

FIRST IN, LAST OUT

Christa Funk is one of the few professional surf photographers to have made the legendary Pipeline in Hawaii - one of the most dangerous and iconic waves in the world - her workplace and happy place. However, Christa grew up in Colorado, where she first discovered her love of photography. She later combined this with her enthusiasm for the ocean and managed to find her own way into the predominantly male-dominated surf scene. Today, she looks for the perfect angle for her pictures in the swell, but also enjoys the rare moments of calm in the midst of wave chaos. Her cinematic portrait shows that it is always worth believing in your dreams.

THE LAST DIVE

Terry Kennedy formed an extraordinary friendship over 40 years ago. Back then, the sea around the uninhabited volcanic island of San Benedicto was the ultimate paradise for him and his sailing friends. Around 600 kilometers off the Mexican Pacific coast, Terry was able to live out his urge for freedom, which had got him into trouble several times in the USA, far away from all conventions. Until he met Willy while diving - a giant manta ray with a wingspan of over six meters. His encounter with the gentle giant changed his life. Over the course of two decades, Terry and Willy developed an extraordinary friendship that turned the former outlaw into a committed animal and environmental conservationist. In The Last Dive, Terry sets off for San Benedicto one last time at the age of over eighty. He hopes to see Willy one last time - the animal who showed him what really matters in life.

THE DIFFERENT BEAST

Lachlan, Ewan and Jamie Maclean have an ambitious goal: they want to row across the Pacific in record time - non-stop and unsupported. The fact that there are around 14,480 kilometers between Peru and Australia does not deter the three brothers. With unshakeable self-confidence, a healthy dose of humor and a bit of beginner's luck, they already crossed the Atlantic in 2020 and gained their first experience of ocean rowing. But the Pacific is bigger, lonelier and more dangerous. To overcome this sporting challenge, the three Scots train hard: on their boat, in the gym and on their farm in the Highlands. They have even pre-cooked 1,800 meals for their adventure. But they know: It's not just strength that counts on this adventure, but also brains. Because nobody knows what surprises await them on the high seas.

UP THE COAST

Kite legend Kevin Langeree and his crew have a mission: an unforgettable kite adventure along the wild coast of South Africa. Their dream - maximum airtime! To achieve this, they have to find the best wind. Even if the coast is moody at the beginning, the crew is determined. Because who knows, maybe the perfect conditions are waiting just over the next headland? In Up the Coast, they take us along on their adventurous road trip.

HOME IS THE OCEAN

The Schwörer family have found their home at sea - far away from their Swiss homeland and familiar comfort zones. Their journey began 25 years ago, when Dario and Sabine Schwörer set sail on an expedition sailboat to explore the remotest corners of the world and inspire the next generation for nature. Along the way, their six children were born - each in a different part of the world. In just 20 square meters, the eight Schwörers share adventures, everyday life and their lives together. In Home is the Ocean - A Unique Global Expedition, we accompany them over seven years and learn how they repeatedly question conventional ideas of upbringing, education, home and security - until a storm hits the sailing boat and the family has to rethink their life decisions and their future.
