About Sea Film Festival

The sea seen, heard, and experienced as an environment, a job, and a resource: this is the common thread of the Sea Film Festival, the film festival in La Spezia entirely dedicated to the marine world. Hosted at the Mediateca Regionale Ligure Sergio Fregoso, it gathers videos from dozens of countries, including documentaries, underwater footage, and stories about maritime professions, in a city with a deep connection to the sea.

Cinema that tells the story of the sea

The Sea Film Festival is the film festival in La Spezia entirely dedicated to the sea. Promoted by the association Mareggiamo, it presents a selection of videos from numerous countries, united by the desire to portray the sea as an environment and ecology, but also as work and a resource.

At the Mediateca Sergio Fregoso

The festival takes place at the Mediateca Regionale Ligure Sergio Fregoso, on Via Firenze, one of the most important cultural centers in the provincial capital. A venue that underscores its role as a festival attentive to image quality and environmental reflection.

Sea as an environment, job, and resource

The competing works range across maritime professions and environments, sea art and culture, and the underwater world. In a city like La Spezia, home to the Naval Arsenal and overlooking the Gulf of Poets, the Sea Film Festival becomes an opportunity to reflect on the relationship between humans and the sea through the language of cinema.
