Sea SDGs Film Festival 2025



Business Overview
The Ocean SDGs Film Festival will screen ocean-themed films and hold SDGs workshops and symposiums simultaneously. Through images, art, and the production process, the museum aims to provide opportunities for people of all ages and fields to "know" and "think" about marine issues while enjoying themselves. In 2025, a wide variety of films were screened, including a documentary on the issue of marine plastics, Sakana-no-ko, a film adaptation of Sakana-kun's life starring Non, and the internationally acclaimed animation Song of the Sea. At the SDGs workshop, participants printed their own art on T-shirts made from recycled marine plastic waste. Held at the United Nations University in Shibuya, Tokyo, this year is the second such event.
