SDUFEX 26th Annual Underwater Film Festival Accepting Entries
Press Release
Film submissions for the SDUFEX 26th Anniversary Underwater Film Festival will be open from March 15th - June 15, 2025.
SDUFEX is a registered 501c3 nonprofit organization. All officers and members of the Board of Directors are volunteers, and most are active underwater videographers. We are here to promote and exhibit creative underwater filmmaking; to share underwater cinematography and techniques among divers; and to encourage awareness about marine life and ocean habitats.
The San Diego Undersea Film Exhibition (SDUFEX) is inviting underwater filmmakers worldwide to submit their short films. Submissions are currently open until June 15, 2025. SDUFEX offers a unique opportunity to share your visions of the underwater world with a global audience.
This year is the 26th SDUFEX Underwater Film Festival, the longest running film festival devoted to underwater films. Screenings will be in person over two nights and held in San Diego at Qualcomm Hall on October 10 & 11, 2025, with over 1,000 attendees, followed by a virtual festival with selected films available worldwide.
To qualify, all films must incorporate at least 50% underwater footage. For additional rules and submission guidelines, please visit www.sdufex.com.
