San Francisco Ocean Film Festival 2009
IT'S A WRAP
Thanks to all who came and supported the 6th San Francisco Ocean Film Festival, Feb 19-22! From the spectacular Opening Night Party at Aquarium of the Bay to a weekend of packed programs at Cowell Theater, this year's Festival presented 35 films from around the world, with 23 filmmaker guests in attendance, to an estimated 3,300 filmgoers. In addition, 900 middle and high school students attended our 3rd Annual Student Festival for a day of ocean films and discussion with filmmakers, marine biologists, sports persons, and people whose lives are influenced by the ocean.
