EDUCATION PROGRAM
INTERNATIONAL OCEAN FILM FOUNDATION
19th Annual Free Student Education Program
for middle school and high school students
Thank you to all of the teachers and students who joined us for the 19th Annual Free Student Education Program. Our program was hosted at the Roxie Theater and at Cowell Theater in Fort Mason, San Francisco! This 2-hour event featured a curated program of official selections from the main film festival designed to entertain, engage and inspire middle school and high school students from across the Bay Area. The core value of the mission of the International Ocean Film Foundation is education and ocean literacy, and to be the premier platform for ocean education and literacy through independent film.
The program featured a lineup of films centered around ocean topics. In addition, we had esteemed marine education guest speakers, filmmakers and scientists sharing their insights and knowledge.
