These international surf film fests do not stop. They start to look the same after a while, but we want to keep bringing you the details because if it’s the one in your town then you’ll be stoked to finally have a chance to check these movies out for yourself. It’s also cool to see which films are making all the rounds this year, and which are just hitting one or two key spots. And, it you’re a filmmaker hoping to get on the circuit, hopefully we’re serving as a valuable resource to you.
Next up on the docket, we head to Anglet, France. They recently hosted a press conference with the mayor and director of tourism, so this festival must be a big deal and that’s pretty great for surf filmmaking everywhere.
Here’s a look at the lineup, with all the links you need to get your festival experience dialed in listed below. And hey, if you’ve seen some of these at other festivals, drop a line in the comments about which ones France should be sure not to miss. We’re sure festival-goers will be eternally grateful.
