We are inviting underwater filmmakers worldwide to submit their films. Submissions are currently open until June 20, 2024. SDUFEX is a unique opportunity to share your visions of the underwater world with a global audience. 

Your films will make our event a success!

To qualify, all films must incorporate at least 50% underwater footage. For additional rules and submissions, please visit www.sdufex.com.

The audience's choice each night and the judges' top pick will each receive $250 in prizes!

The festival will be a hybrid format, offering online screenings alongside live events. This format ensures ample opportunities for your film to be showcased.

The film festival will be held in-person on October 4-5, 2024, at Qualcomm Hall in San Diego
