At the historic Rio Theatre, Santa Cruz

Clips from the amazing films in the program of the 2019 Santa Cruz Surf Film Festival.

Distracted by realities of our own invention, the natural world becomes invisible, technology is our king. As the cracks in our society spread, two surfers seek refuge in the vastness of the ocean, away from the deafening clamour of humankind.
