Third Annual New York Surf Film Festival Returns to NYC in September 2010

December 10, 2009, New York, NY –After another successful year at the famous Tribeca Cinemas, the annual New York Surf Film Festival has officially opened 2010 submissions for its third installment in Manhattan.

Both New Yorkers and the international audience can expect a packed program filled with film, art, and music slated for the September 24-26, 2010 event.

NYSFF’s Co-Founder Tyler Breuer, is looking forward to this years submissions: “It seems like every year the bar is being raised higher and higher.
