Host a REVIVE short film screening

Thank you for your interest in screening a Revive Our Ocean short film.

Thank you for your interest in screening a Revive Our Ocean short film.

We are excited to give you the possibility of bringing Revive Our Ocean short films to your community. 

We know how powerful community-driven stories can be in sharing the benefits of effective coastal marine protected areas (MPAs), inspiring more to be created.  Stories spark energy, build understanding, and open doors to collaboration and lead to next steps in science, policy, and economics to create marine protected areas. Peer-to-peer communication  is especially powerful: we listen best to those we see ourselves in. 

Each film was created for a specific target audience to showcase the transformational ripple effect of MPAs through the voices of those who experience their benefits. The Heads of State and Mayors films are designed for political leaders and policymakers, while the Fisher and Tourism films speak to local ocean-dependent businesses. Two location-specific shorts spotlight success stories in Amorgos, Greece, and Gökova Bay, Türkiye. Filmed in Spain, Greece, Türkiye, the United States, the Philippines, and Indonesia, the films highlight local leadership and MPA success stories that deliver ecological, social, and economic benefits.
