Wavelength Surf Film Festival comes inland to Bristol

By Sarski Anderson  Tuesday Oct 12, 2021

In September 2021, a purpose-built drive-in cinema on the clifftops overlooking the stunning Watergate Bay in Newquay played host to the inaugural Wavelength Surf Film Festival. Now, the festival is hitting the road and coming indoors, landing at Bristol’s Marble Factory this Wednesday for an evening of surf films.

The night is running as part of Blue Earth Summit, a two-day event featuring ‘actionable insight and debate from sustainable business leaders and inspirational tales from explorers, adventurers and storytellers’.
