The 11th annual San Diego undersea film exhibition, will be held at the Irwin M. Jacobs Qualcomm Hall’s big screen auditorium in San Diego on Friday and Saturday evenings, September 17 and 18th July 2010. Utilizing a state of the art digital projection system, it will be an exciting showcase of digital videos, many of them in high definition, by some of the finest underwater filmmakers from around the world.

Each evening will start at 7.00pm, and feature up to sixteen digital films. Presentations are limited to a fast paced five minutes. This exhibition is unique in that there are no entry fees and no prizes, except for the prestige and kudos of having a film selected and shown. An independent panel of judges will select the films to be shown.

Undersea film exhibition is a nonprofit organization. A portion of the proceeds for the evenings will be given to local ocean-related environmental groups.
