The International Ocean Film Tour starts its world tour

maxresdefault-6
The ultimate film event for all who love the sea. The International OCEAN FILM TOUR brings the beauty and fascination of the oceans to the big screen. The programme consists of 5–7 inspiring short films with a total duration of about two hours. From exciting tales of adventure to spectacular water sports action to gripping environmental documentaries, the Int. OCEAN FILM TOUR again this year has collected a colourful amalgam of the underwater world and more reasons to protect it. In mid-March 2019, the Int. OCEAN FILM TOUR Volume 6 begins in Germany and then goes on an extensive tour through 14 countries worldwide with over 150 stops. With supplementary activities, such as moderation and prize contests, each event lasts from 2.5–3 hours. In many cities, the Int. OCEAN FILM TOUR is accompanied by environmental protection organisations and activists who provide important steps each can take to protect the oceans. This year’s program consists of five to six documentaries with a total duration of about two hours. The first films are already fixed: with Julie Gautier, we hold our breath in the breath-taking and meet a woman who has found her creative assignment Under sea level. In “700 sharks”, the researchers come to obtain new insights in close contact with 700 sharks, while in “Andy Irons – Kissed by God” we learn more about the eventful life and early death of this legendary surfer. As usual, this Int. Ocean Film Tour politics around the corner: in the documentary “Chasing the Thunder” we accompany the Sea Shepherds on the high seas in their fight against illegal fishing.

I have practiced a multitude of sports since my youth to the present. My first sports as a child were judo and athletics. Cycling, hiking, mountain biking, kyokushin karate, diving, baseball, golf and windsurfing, rowing and krav maga were added later.
