The 43rd edition of the San Sebastian International Underwater Film Series was presented this morning. Organised annually by the Underwater section of the Royal Society, CIMASUB 2019 continues to consolidate its position as one of the world's leading events for all fans of the underwater world. This morning it was officially presented in a privileged setting, the Aquarium of San Sebastian, and this year it once again has the collaboration of the Real Sociedad Fundazioa.
The press conference was attended by:
David Sánchez, director of CIMASUB.
Andoni Iraola, director of the Real Sociedad Fundazioa.
Denis Itxaso, first deputy deputy general and head of Culture, Tourism, Youth and Sports.
José Miguel Beltrán, from Donostia Kultura.
José Ignacio Espel, President of the Aquarium.
The screenings of the cycle will take place on the 14th, 15th and 16th of November in the Teatro Principal (from 19:00 to 20:50) and TXIKICICLO for FAMILIES will be held in the Aquarium auditorium (Saturday 16th from 12:00 to 13:30).
Last year the audience grew and there was a younger audience. The Teatro Principal was sold out. Nearly 3,000 people attended all the events of the Cycle. In addition to Lasarte-Oria (11 editions), Irun (28 editions), cycles have also been held in Errenteria and Lezo... and dates are being finalised for Zumaia and Hondarribia. After 43 editions, the Underwater Film Series is at one of its best moments... For 43 editions it has been making the seabed known, showing all its beauty from all corners of the planet... But they are aware that unfortunately the current interest in the seabed is not due to the wonders it hides, but rather because of the disaster we have caused in it.
Edition after edition, marine pollution has been taking centre stage in the works that the amateurs and professionals of the underwater image sector have presented in the Cycle. So much so, that the majority of the works now leave a space to talk about marine litter or even make it the central theme. The best works with ecological denouncements continue to be awarded, as those who spend the most time underwater have a lot to tell, and this message must reach everyone in order to achieve a real, serious and definitive awareness. This year again, nearly 80 works between photographic collections, short films and documentaries with an extraordinary quality.
CIMASUB continues to be the best way to take a trip around the planet, visiting the most spectacular seabed and showing us the global nature of the problem of marine pollution. The Underwater Film Series is an international benchmark. It has received entries from countries on several continents. Among them, there are winners from France, Argentina, Italy, among others, and also from the Basque Country, Navarra, Cantabria, Canary Islands, Madrid, Catalonia, among others. An important point to highlight is that CIMASUB offers FREE ENTRANCE to the entire programme.
