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 film-makers 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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

The NYSFF is a proud member of the Global Surf Film Festival Collective (GSFFC), a streamlined one-stop submission process to worldwide surf film festivals. The New York Surf Film Festival joins this association of film festivals to share films and ideas in an effort to unify the global surf film festival community for both film-makers and fans.<\/p>\n
