About the festival:
The Honolulu Surf Film Festival is back with 22 feature and short films—16 of them never before screened in Hawai‘i.
The festival opens with director Taylor Steele’s high-octane Innersection and continues with the diversity the event has become known for. We also focus on women in surfing with films such as the new release Leave A Message, and other documentaries that honor and recognize the stunning achievements of great women of surf.
You’ll meet New Jersey and New York City surfers, Aussie surfers who surf the 50 states, California surfers who walk the coast, surfing monks, and kids in Bali who pay for their education through surfing. Other films explore the impact of the surf industry on the environment and the spiritual aspects of surfing.
And we bring it all back home on closing night—the reception honors the legends of surf with prime footage from Bud Browne’s archives in Surfing the ‘50s.
