What: 11th Annual San Diego UnderSea Film Exhibition
When: Friday and Saturday evenings, September 17 and 18th, 2010 7:00 pm
The judges’ results are in, and 32 underwater videos have been selected
to be shown at the 11th Annual San Diego UnderSea Film Exhibition, at
the Irwin M. Jacobs Qualcomm Hall on Friday and Saturday evenings,
September 17 and 18, 2010. The programs for both nights are now posted on
the organization’s website, www.sdufex.com. What makes this exhibition unique
is that there are no entry fees and no prizes, except for the prestige of having a
film shown.
Fifty five entries from six countries around the world were vying for the
honor. A panel of three independent judges picked the winners. This year’s
judges were Shannon Hull, Andy Sallmon, and Bonnie Toth, professionals in the
fields of scuba diving, photography, and televison.
Among the films that made the cut are two by Howard and Michele Hall,
renowned for their IMAX and television productions. Subjects of others include
sperm whales, microscopic plankton, sharks, shipwrecks, and manta rays.
Locations include Indonesia, the Maldives, the Arctic, the Red Sea, and our own
California coast.
A different program will be presented each evening beginning at 7:00 PM.
Each show will feature 16 digital films, limited to five minutes each of fast-paced
entertainment. They will be shown on Qualcomm’s state of the art high definition
digital projection system.
Tickets are available for $15 per evening online at www. sdufex.com.
SDUFEX is incorporated as a 501c3 nonprofit organization. A portion of
the proceeds will go to Birch Aquarium and San Diego Oceans Foundation.
Previous years’ shows have been sellouts, so get your tickets early. Seating is
open, and doors open 30 minutes prior to the show. Free Parking is on site at the
Qualcomm campus. Further information is available online at www.sdufex.com.
