On this edition of Your Call’s One Planet Series, we discuss the 21st annual International Ocean Film Festival in San Francisco.
The three-day festival, which begins on April 12, features more than 30 films about how we can protect, restore, and celebrate the ocean for generations to come. We'll focus on Sequoias of the Sea and A Disappearing Forest, two short documentaries that explore the challenges facing kelp ecosystems in California and creative solutions to protect these underwater forests. The films will be available online from April 15-22.
Guests:
Ana Blanco, executive director of the International Ocean Film Festival and co-director of Sequoias of the Sea
Tyler Schiffman, award-winning international photographer and filmmaker, and director of A Disappearing Forest
