Ocean Film Festival 2022 – What are the films on the bill
The first screening in Milan will be a world premiere, the screening of Broken Breath, a documentary about freediver Mike Maric and the first Italian film finalist at the Ocean Film Festival. The tour will continue until Nov. 28, bringing the seven films themed on freediving, sailing, surfing, nature and diving to 16 Italian cities. Here are this edition’s finalists.
Broken Breath
In 2005 Mike Maric, at the peak of his athletic career, lost his best friend in an accident at sea. The trauma caused by a bereavement was an opportunity to face a path of rebirth, and apnea the tool to learn more about a part of oneself.
Italy 2022 / 24 min / Director Morgan Bertacca / Production Mike Maric, Y-40® The Deep Joy / Ocean therapy, freediving
I Am Ocean
The film is a kind of thanksgiving to the underwater world of the oceans. That mysterious place that gave Australian photographer and oceanographer PT Hirschfield the strength to face and survive a terminal cancer diagnosed in 2011.

Ocean Film Festival 2022: Eyre & Sea
Director Cresswell spends entire days exploring the Great Australian Bight with his camera.

If you give a beach a bottle
Filmmaker and artist Max Romey joins with other environmentalists to clean up a remote Alaskan beach of plastic waste. Embarrassment and fascination, opposing feelings, prompt Romey to document the abandoned plastic objects with a series of watercolors in his sketchbook.

Mar
For Alex Botelho and some of his professional surfing friends, the magic lies in the call dictated by nature: when the wave comes and the wind is right, when all the variables align…then those are the days to find yourself in Nazarè where big-wave means surfing waves up to 30 meters high.
United States 2020 / 25 min / Director Olaf Crato / Production Emerald Media Creative / Surfing, big-wave surfing
Tiger (shark) king
For more than two decades, conservationist and diver Jim Abernethy has discovered the “loving” side of large predatory sharks after removing a fish hook from the mouth of a tiger shark. He has dedicated his life to raising awareness of the true nature of sharks to demythologize their reputation as unscrupulous killers through his study center in Tiger Beach.
