AN EVENING of inspirational ocean-themed films will be shown at York Barbican next month.

The Ocean Film Festival World Tour is coming to the venue on October 23.

The new selection of films features seafaring adventurers rowing treacherous oceans, intrepid surfers riding the world’s biggest waves, and explores our planet’s spectacular hidden depths. Now in its fifth year, 2018’s UK Tour is the biggest yet.

Tour director Nell Teasdale said: “We’re really excited that more people than ever before will be able to celebrate their love of the ocean with our largest tour to date.

“Through stunning cinematography and mesmerising storytelling, audiences can expect to be wowed by the magic and mysteries of the world’s oceans.”

Each screening will include a free prize giveaway.
