San Francisco Ocean Film Festival

As a supporting sponsor for the 2010 San Francisco Ocean Film Festival (SFOFF), O.A.R.S. donated a 4-day sea kayaking trip in Johnstone Strait, British Columbia as the grand prize for the on-site raffle (lucky winner being local Anne Trott of San Francisco). With tickets selling at $10 each, we helped raise over $3,000 for the festival and we’re delighted to support North America’s premier "cinemaquatic event." This year, SFOFF presented 40 highly commendable films that raised passionate feelings amongst it’s attendees. From Wednesday, February 3rd – Sunday, February 7th, each session brought new insight and understanding to the beauty, mystery and excitement of the seven seas and the obsessive connection that accompanies it. By popular demand, the seventh annual film festival was expanded to a five-day event in order to cater to their ever-growing, ever-adventurous audience.

Although there were many talented filmmakers present at Friday’s reception, below is a list of the awards given:
