Save the date for the next Big Blue Film Festival January 29-30, 2027 in Newport.
Our festival’s goal is to showcase ocean-themed films at the confluence of marine sciences, humanities and the arts. We also aim to engage the community and raise awareness about marine issues and how we might solve them.
We strive to inspire, educate and captivate our audience members with science and ocean entertainment. These films tell stories that shape our future understanding of one of our planet’s most important resources.
The Big Blue Film Fest is hosted at Oregon State University’s Hatfield Marine Science Center, which has operated in Newport, Oregon, for 59 years. Hatfield is dedicated to education and exploration with classes, internships, top-quality research and meaningful community outreach.
