His role on the festival jury gives him the opportunity to bring together these two worlds that inspire him.

HISTORY

Created in 2004 by Bruno Delaye, the International Surf Film Festival was built around a strong ambition: to gain recognition and introduce a wider audience to the artistic quality of surf films. Faced with ever-increasing creativity on the part of filmmakers and the obvious lack of visibility of these productions in Europe, surf films deserved an event of their own. Over the past 20 years, the International Surf Film Festival has gradually established itself as a cultural and artistic event in its own right.
