NYSFF Now Playing: Come Hell or High Water

October 31, 2011 | Words By:

The mission of the New York Surf Film Festival digital screening room is to showcase past, present and future surf film with an altruistic purpose. Each monthly film screening is supported by a corporate sponsor – donating $1 per view of the film in a 48 hour period to a charitable organization.



From Morgan Rae Berk, Founder New York Surf Film Festival,

“As we grow this initiative, we will be adding an additional layer to aid in providing a sound future for those that choose the surf film-making craft as their career path – a fund that grants participating filmmakers dollars to invest towards their next film project.

The NYSFF welcomes filmmakers and sponsors to join us in raising dollars for the surf community and its related charitable organizations. Please inquire with us if you would like more information on getting involved. And in the meantime – enjoy the film.”

The New York Surf Film Festival is the premier showcase for international independent and established surf films. 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.
