From June 8 to 16, La Réunion was at the heart of the underwater world with the fourth edition of its underwater image festival. An edition that began with World Oceans Day, providing an opportunity to screen many films that pay tribute to the underwater world and to invite and raise awareness among many schoolchildren.
Throughout the week, screenings, exhibitions, nautical activities, and presentations of marine professions were organized. Participants also had the chance to restore a beach for turtle nesting and clean Cap la Houssaye with filmmaker René Heuzey, the guest of honor at this festival. Hundreds of people took part in these events, and around 4000 attended the projection evening on a giant screen at Cap Homard beach.
Competitions, reserved for local productions, awarded underwater photographers and videographers, as well as schoolchildren who presented their drawings. We present to you the winners of this 2018 festival:
