Seven short films, an intermission with discussions, a feature film, and a trailer make up World Oceans Day Film Festival. The feature, Barbara Ettinger's Sea Change: Imagine a World Without Fish, sounds like a nightmarishly important lesson about how much acid is in international waters these days. But the narrative follows Norwegian-born retiree Sven Huseby as he visits his fish-loving ancestral lands, learning about the state of the ocean from scientists.
