BEACH FEET SURF FILM & ART FESTIVAL
Beach Feet Surf Film Festival celebrates the weird, wild, and wonderfully varied corners of surf culture. From independent filmmakers chasing stories far off the beaten path to local artists, ocean obsessives, and everyday surfers, the festival brings together the people who keep surfing weird. Charleston, South Carolina’s premier night of films and art centered around the characters, places, and stories that remind us why we’re all drawn back to the sea.
Featuring standout surf films, a local short film competition, surf-inspired artwork, an outdoor vintage lounge, and a lineup of local vendors and creatives. Beach Feet brings more space for different voices in surf and filmmaking - aiming for a 50/50 split of screen time for men and women surfers.
Microdose Art Co-Op will be curating Through Lines, an exhibition with 30+ local artists exploring counterculture as the thread in surf history. Surfers and artists have always questioned the systems we live within and asked, “Is there more to life than a 9-to-5?” Through Lines celebrates the artists, surfers, conservationists, and community builders who have always challenged the status quo, even when their stories went untold. Because what is art, what is surfing, but embracing life’s simple pleasures?; Through lines.
Stick around after the credits for food, drinks from Cannon Distillery, and a sneaky DJ set with DJ Blacksmith & James Island Sound Systems.

Just good films, good people, and a reason to get together.
WHY BEACH FEET?
We know surf culture isn’t all sunshine, long lines, and a clean bar of wax.
It’s long drives with questionably strapped boards on the roof, dodgy motels, early alarms, and chasing waves in the far corners of the map. It’s showing up to your Zoom call ten minutes late and dripping wet. It’s dirt under your toenails, sunburns, Bali belly, bare feet, and wondering where the hell your other flip-flop went.
Because the best waves, the best stories, and the best shots rarely come easy. The thick pads on your feet are earned. Through miles traveled, risks taken, and a relentless odyssey for empty lineups, wild ideas, and unconventional stories that keep surf culture curious.
