Kauai Ocean Film Festival

Hanalei, Home Rentals, Kauai, Vacation rentals

Oddly enough one of the key ingredients to life on Earth is often treated with indifference even contempt, the Ocean. The Ocean Film Festival to be held in Hanalei on Kauai on Saturday July 24^th 2010 from 7PM to 10PM seeks to alter that attitude by bringing awareness of the Ocean through the eyes of film makers from around The World.

The films range from documentaries to short films, films about sports, oddities & wonders, adventure & exploration, films exploring cultural connections to the Oceans, the Ocean as a vital resource for food, the Ocean’s untapped potential as a source of energy without the need to drill into its floor unleashing billions of gallons of oil to freely find its way to shore, but the very motion of the Ocean itself.

This is a perfect opportunity to enjoy Hanalei Bay. Spend a week at a Hanalei vacation rental for the convenience of the Kauai Ocean Film Festival event.
