Korea International Ocean Film Festival (KIOFF)

Humans live with endless curiosity about the unknown world. The ocean, which occupies most of the Earth's surface to the extent that it is called the 'Blue Planet,' still remains veiled. Therefore, the ocean inspires human imagination and inquisitiveness. The Korea International Ocean Film Festival, which tells stories of the ocean and people, started as 'Sea & See' in 2015, changed its name to KIOFF (Korea International Ocean Film Festival) in 2018, and has been communicating with the world. Through various ocean films that capture all stories of the ocean, from its grandeur and mystery to its current struggles, the festival aims to practice the beautiful coexistence of the ocean and humanity.
