CINEMARE

CINEMARE is Northern Europe's only multi-day marine film festival. Visitors immerse themselves in the blue heart of our planet via the cinema screen. Those who experience the sea through their senses will love it - and only those who love it will also commit themselves to its protection.

At the NORDEN Festival, selected films from the CINEMARE Ocean Film Festival will be shown.

Welcome to the world of PLSTC, an undersea dystopia that submerges you in the disturbing reality of plastic pollution in our oceans.

ICEBERG-LICKING SOCIETY Language: English
