The southwestern Turkish resort town of Bodrum is getting a brand new film festival with the sea as its central theme.

The Bodrum peninsula’s first Deniz Filmleri Festivali (sea films festival) is set for April 18-20 at the Bodrum Cinemarine multiplex, the event’s organizers announced in a press release on Monday.

This festival aims to bring people to the “calm atmosphere of the sea by taking them away from their daily concerns,” the festival’s director Murat Yılmaz said in the press release.

Norwegian historical drama “Kon-Tiki,” recounting explorer Thor Heyerdal’s epic crossing of the Pacific Ocean on a small raft, is the highlight of the festival’s program, which will feature a total of 11 local and foreign films on the themes of sea, adventure, exploration and nature.

Other films on the lineup include “Shackleton’s Captain,” a 2012 television movie recounting the story of New Zealand sailor and explorer Frank Worsley as he navigates polar explorer Ernest Shackleton’s Imperial Trans-Antarctic expedition as the captain of the Endurance, and “And Then We Swam,” the true story of two friends who had never rowed before they set out to cross the Indian Ocean in a secondhand boat.
