New York Surf Film Festival

For all you east coast heads tired of surfing the rocky shores of the Atlantic, here is your chance to get away from some good surfing.  The New York Surf Film Festival starts tomorrow and if you’re lucky, you can maybe get in.  I heard it’s sold out.

The New York Surf Film Festival is the premier showcase for international independent surf film. The mission of the New York Surf Film Festival is to provide filmmakers who are exploring the diversity of surfing an opportunity to present their work to a larger audience. As surf culture becomes more popular, the notion of what it means to be a surfer expands. The New York Surf Film Festival’s aim is to build upon and shape the idea of what a surf movie is, while fostering the growth of this global community in NYC.

The New York Surf Film Festival is an event consisting of three days of screenings of independent short and feature films, cult classics, and world premieres from established surf filmmakers. In between screenings, they will be hosting a surf history lecture series, Q&A Sessions with filmmakers and notable surfers, Panel Discussions, and Meet & Greets. They will also be curating a Surf Art Gallery to be open to the public for the duration of the weekend.  Go to the New York Surf Film Festival for more info.
