New York Surf Film Festival

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, we will be hosting a surf history
lecture series, Q&A Sessions with filmmakers and notable surfers, Panel Discussions,
and Meet & Greets. We will also be curating a Surf Art Gallery to be open to the public
for the duration of the weekend. Please contact us if you are interested in showcasing
your work. We will be screening films across all categories, including but not limited to:

* Documentary
* Animation
* Biography
* Geographical Location
* Humor
* Travel Log
* Creative
* Experimental

Official 2009 New York Surf Film Festival Selections will be chosen mid-August
by the international screening panel.
