Festival Overview
Having established itself over 14 years, the CSFF has become a travelling surf film festival, showcasing various islands in the Canary archipelago. The festival celebrates and fosters culture surrounding the passion that Canarians have for life alongside the ocean. Since its inception, it has served as a bridge to connect filmmakers, athletes, friends, and families around narratives captured by some of the best audiovisual creators in this genre.

Over three days, the Convent of Santo Domingo will transform into a gathering place for the surfing community and everyone passionate about sea-related culture. The programme will combine film screenings, exhibitions, sporting activities, workshops, informative talks, concerts, and live music sessions.
