Cape Town – If you love the ocean then these two upcoming events from the annual Wavescape Festival can’t be missed.

Between 21 November and 11 December, this beach culture and surfing celebration will carry the torch for ocean conservation and sustainable seafood awareness.

Two highlights from the festival calendar are definitely Slide Night and Shortcuts.

More info on the events below:

SLIDE NIGHT

These 10 salty tales by 10 ocean gurus are MC'ed by filmmaker and marine biologist Lauren de Vos. This year's prestigious lineup at the Centre for the Book in Cape Town includes extreme adventurer Riaan Manser who talks about his epic honeymoon paddle across the Pacific, former DA MP and now CEO of Wesgro Tim Harris on his African surf odyssey, Professor Charles Griffiths on 100 new marine species he has found, and 13 year old but Epiphany “Scuti” Ford, a Ted Talks speaker who shares an intimate tale of the sea with us. #SlideNight

SHORTCUTS

This project to develop filmmaking talent launches at our festival in partnership with Cape Town and Western Cape Film and Media Promotion - a division of Wesgro. This workshop for adventure filmmakers takes place at the Woodstock Exchange in Cape Town, where we will launch a 12 month window period during which young filmmakers are invited to submit films. Winners will be selected and their films screened at the 2017 Wavescape Festival, part of a bid to make Cape Town "Adventure Capital of the World", which will include many exciting prizes. #WavescapeShortcuts

Woodstock Exchange, 16:00, 5 December, free.
