Project Description

Country: USA

Location: San Diego County

Total Budget: $1,000

Area of Focus: The environment

Activity Type: Education: General

Summary: Independent - long, short, narrative, documentary and animated films of unique content that focuse on the environment.


The mission of the Blue Water Film Festival, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, is to encourage attendees to think broadly about how climate change affects planet Earth and think deeply about the universal concerns and actions needed to bring us into balance. 50% of all film selections are non-US productions, helping to fulfill the festival mission of promoting cross-cultural understanding through film. The next festival takes place at various venues in San Diego County from March 20 -23, 2025.

The festival showcases independent film-long, short, narrative and documentary-and animated film and introduces a unique and diverse content focused on environmental storytelling to our audiences. The festival is committed to exhibiting films that express fresh voices and differing global perspectives to enlighten audiences, educate, provide invaluable exposure for filmmakers, and present inspired entertainment for the sole purpose of the environment.

Set in San Diego and surrounding areas, the festival coincides with World Oceans Day and connects an audience of environmental activists, marine science educators, prospective financiers, and distributors - with rising focus on the next generation of environmental stars in the film industry.

Funds will be used for planning the festival, paying projector and facility rentals, promotion and marketing, and providing closing ceremony awards.

The festival attracts an in-person audience of approximately 5,000 filmmakers, journalists, financial executives, movie lovers, and environmentalists, along with an international virtual streaming audience of film enthusiasts from around the world.
