The 10th Annual Surfalorus Film Festival returns to the Outer Banks September 22-25 for finals weekend at the ESA Easterns. The annual festival seeks new surf films celebrating the sport, as well as our oceans, and the bold, creative makers who bring these stories to life. Surfalorus accepts shorts, features, documentaries and any other surf-inspired films by filmmakers of all backgrounds, from anywhere on the planet.
The festival’s mission is to showcase the most talented surf filmmakers of our time. Alumni include: Cyrus Sutton, J. Brother, George Trimm, Nathan Oldfield, and a new wave of female surf filmmakers like Crystal Thornburg-Homcy, Devyn Bisson, Lauren Hill, Luca Merli, Jess Lowcher, Leah Dawson and Alena Ehrenbold.
The Cape Hatteras Lighthouse seen from the light keepers house in Buxton. The lighthouse was put in service in 1870 and is the world s tallest brick lighthouse at 208 feet. Its beacon can be seen 20 miles out at sea.
The lighthouse at Cape Hatteras was first lit on Dec. 16, 1870. A century and a half later, the iconic structure – the tallest brick lighthouse in the United States – is still standing and is an active aid to navigation. It has survived heavy storms, a decommissioning, years of erosion, service during World War II, and a 23-day move in 1999.
With its 150th anniversary approaching, a celebration is in order for the lighthouse. But, because it s 2020 and the world is still dealing with the pandemic, the party is being done a bit differently.
