San Diego Surf Film Festival 2014 Announces Wave of World Premieres
Third Annual Event Attracts Stellar Surf Cinema From International Waters

San Diego, CA. – From the shores of California and New Hampshire to the 
Patagonian Coast of Argentina and Chile, the recently released film line-up 
for the San Diego Surf Film Festival 2014 (SDSFF), represents a wide variety 
of cultures and surf destinations around the globe. The 32 international films, 
which also highlight an eclectic mix of surf styles and genres, were chosen by 
a six-member screening panel. The 2014 SDSFF will be held May 7-10, 2014 at 
Bird's Surf Shed in San Diego, a world famous restored quonset hut filled with 
an impressive collection of historically significant surfboards and artifacts.  

In its third year, the San Diego Surf Film festival is the largest of its kind in the
 United States and one of the largest in the world.  Last year's event attracted 
more than 2,000 people. Festival organizers expect more this year.

Besides stellar surf cinema, SDSFF 2014 will include dozens of filmmakers and 
producers in attendance, Q&As, a filmmaker panel and workshops, an amazing 
surf art gallery, surf legends and shaping demos, a beach cleanup and expression 
session, incredible live music, serendipitous live art and after-parties.

"I am really looking forward to our third year of the SDSFF because it seems to 
keep getting bigger and better," said SDSFF director Pierce Kavanagh, who created 
the festival with his wife Petra in 2010.  "Our incredible lineup includes 32 stunning 
films from around the globe, 12 of which are having their world premieres at Bird's 
Surf Shed. Filmmakers are coming in from all over the place to take part in our 
festival, and that means a lot to us. We are here to celebrate the independent 
film makers who spend countless hours on the beach to bring us back their amazing 
films  simply because they are driven to do it. That, combined with the outpouring 
of support we receive from the local surfing community, guarantees another SDSFF
 not to be missed." Supporters of the San Diego Surf Film Festival include AV Concepts, 
Daphne's California Greek, GoPro, H20 Trash Patrol, Patagonia Cardiff,  and Bing 
Surfboards.
