Film Screening: Ocean with David Attenborough
Hearing Loop
Celebrate 100 years of David Attenborough with a special screening of ‘Ocean’.
Join us as we honour one of the world’s most beloved storytellers and his lifelong dedication to the natural world. ‘Ocean’ is a breath taking and deeply moving journey beneath the waves, guided by Attenborough’s iconic narration. From vibrant coral reefs teeming with life to the mysterious depths of the open sea, the film explores the incredible diversity of marine ecosystems and the delicate balance that sustains them.
Through stunning cinematography and powerful storytelling, ‘Ocean’ reveals both the wonder and vulnerability of our blue planet—highlighting the urgent challenges facing our seas, from climate change to pollution, while also offering a message of hope about how we can protect and restore these vital environments for future generations.
The University of Leicester’s history is entwined with the Attenborough family, with Sir David’s father, Frederick Attenborough, appointed as Principal of the University College 1932-1951. His sons Richard, David and John grew up on campus. Attenborough Arts Centre was established in 1997 by Lord Richard Attenborough, with his brother, Sir David, officially opening our new galleries in 2016.
Screening times:
- Friday 1 May, 12pm – 1:45pm
- Friday 1 May, 7pm – 8:45pm
- Saturday 2 May, 3pm – 5pm
