Florida Surf Film Festival

Florida Surf Film Festival, located at Atlantic Center for the Arts, in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, typically runs four events per calendar year in February, June, August, and a very special two-night event in November. We announce awards for films entered for competition in the various documentary categories at the November event. Submissions are open year round. We celebrate your work by sharing it with journalists, surfers, aspirants, our fans in the most old school way possible... in person, in a theater... But not just any space. Atlantic Center for the Arts is located on 68 acres of wetlands and boasts architectural award-winning studios and gallery space. Also, ACA is home to 28 units of housing along with 3 master artist cottages. ACA hosts our filmmakers for no charge, and we'll fly you in (within reason) if your feature documentary is officially selected. Short filmmakers are also welcome to stay with us on campus. We typically show films in the blackbox theater, which seats 300, and if weather cooperates in November and February, the amphitheater outdoors, which seats 300, plus another 200 standing. We are a lo-fi festival. 1080p resolution from an .mp4 file in stereo on a 16' x 9' screen, but it does the trick. We can't thank you enough for choosing to participate in the submission process. It takes guts to put your hard work out there for others to reject or glorify. So thank you, and we wish you the best, and hope to see you in New Smyrna Beach soon. Unfortunately, we do not have time to reply to all entries, and we only offer feedback when time allows. We do not pay screening fees to keep the entries on the same playing field. Submission password is "Surf".
