The San Clemente Surf Film Festival is dedicated to creating a community of film-making designed to educate, network, and find resources for film-makers to create film and have an outlet to screen work in the city of San Clemente. Through the medium of film, the organization is called to inspire creativity, expression and education to the general public about the surf culture. We want to provide entertainment, education, and an avenue between the art of film, the film-maker, and audience. The first event was the surf film workshop in the summer of 2009 in conjunction with the Cabrillo Playhouse.
