This popular event immerses participants in a greater understanding and awareness of the ocean and island culture.

With screenings of 30 to 40 exceptional and award-winning films, breakfast talks, Q&A sessions with filmmakers, panel discussions, exhibits, receptions, a ‘Taste of the Island’ event, and early morning activities, such as yoga on the beach, and outrigger canoe lessons, the festival keeps participants on their toes, and presents many opportunities for dialogue and interaction with filmmakers and speakers.
