Proudly Canadian, Our Ocean Film Fest brings bold ocean films to Victoria to inspire and connect our community and ignite action.

Our Ocean Film Festival is a fresh, proudly Canadian festival created to celebrate the stories, people, and places that shape our connection to the ocean. Born from the momentum of Our Earth Film Festival and the incredible audiences who have embraced ocean-focused films, this new festival goes further: more films, more community, more support for local foundations, and a deeper commitment to the coastline we call home.
