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 film is, while fostering the
growth of this global community in NYC.
NYSFF is proudly supported by NewYorkSurf.com, Sundown Surfshop, Surfersvillage, Downtown
Community Television Center, The Surfer’s Path and STAB magazine.
