The 4th annual New York Surf Film Festival is almost underway, the doors open on September 15th.  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 film screenings, they will be hosting a surf history lecture series, Q&A Sessions with filmmakers and notable surfers, Panel Discussions, and Meet & Greets. The NYSFF will also be curating a Surf Art Gallery to be open to the public for the duration of the weekend.

The NYSFF created this annual event to “give the surfing community and general public a spotlight in the city to celebrate the filmmaking craft,  honor the heritage, and learn about the new movements within and surrounding the surf lifestyle.  They do this by connecting  filmmakers, athletes, friends and family together to enjoy the beauty and stories that are captured on camera.”

For more information about the films, schedule, events and to purchase tickets you can visit the NYSFF online.
