About PSSFF:

The idea of ​​organizing the Paris Surf & Skateboard Film Festival ( PSSFF ) was born from the meeting of passionate people from the worlds of surfing, skateboarding and image after a realization that there were many film productions on surfing and skateboarding and that these were not very visible in the Parisian cinemas. As video is an integral part of these cultures, PSSFF wanted to create an event that offers space for all those stories that tell stories. Stories of the past, present and future.

A REAL FILM FESTIVAL
The festival’s singularity is to program an international selection of independent and often unpublished films, inspired by these two cultures. All films are intended to be broadcast in cinemas and offer a reflection going well beyond the simple sports practice, offering another look at societal themes.

A TRUE CULTURAL EVENT
In parallel with screenings, the PSSFF’s OFF invests the cinema terrace to offer outdoor projections of surf & skateboard videos, exhibitions (art & photos), demos & sessions, video workshops, DJ Sets & lives, etc.
