London’s annual celebration of the very best in contemporary surf filmmaking, the London Surf / Film Festival, has just announced dates for the fifth edition, taking place 16 – 24 October 2015.
If you’ve got a spectacular work of surf cinema sitting unwatched and unloved, now is the time to get it out into the world and see it win the appreciation it deserves. Submissions are still open for the LS / FF 2015, the fifth edition of the capital’s celebration of the very best in contemporary surf filmmaking.
“Surf culture is wide open to creative interpretation and we welcome films that explore all aspects and angles of surfing, through the genres,” explains LS/FF director Chris Nelson. “There is a great tradition of story telling within surfing and as always our focus is on those films that shine a new light on our culture whether through narrative, cinematography, soundtracks or surfing.”
Autumn’s festival promises to be another highlight in the calendar for London’s surf community, featuring UK and world premieres, and a merry band of filmmakers, writers, creatives and surfers in attendance.
The fifth edition runs 16 – 24 October 2015. Deadline for submissions is 23rd August. Head over to London Surf / Film Festival to find out more.
