Bilbao Surf Film Festival begins: cinema and sustainability in big waves

Bilbao and Getxo are preparing to live the passion of surfing with a sustainable approach

The ninth edition of Laboral Kutxa Bilbao Surf Film Festival is already underway, and promises to be an unforgettable event. As a resident of Bilbao, I feel a special pride in seeing how our city and Getxo become the epicenter of the world of surfing and the culture that surrounds it. Between February 28 and March 3, we will witness the screening of 60 films from 20 countries, of which 70% are world premieres. But the festival goes beyond cinema. Is a celebration of sustainability, inclusion and social commitment.

A festival that transcends the waves to reach the community

This event is not just for surf fans; It is for the whole family, for friends and for every inhabitant of Bilbao and Bizkaia. The activities are so varied that there is something for everyone. From children's workshops to talks on sustainability and walks along the estuary. And the best? We are promoting a greener and more inclusive future. The march on March 2, from the Guggenheim to the Itsasmuseum, symbolizes our movement towards a more inclusive and environmentally friendly society.

Surf stars and film creators meet in one place

But that's not all, can you imagine being able to see some of the biggest names in world surfing and talented filmmakers up close? The festival gives us that unique opportunity. We will be surrounded by inspiring stories, sporting feats and powerful messages about the importance of taking care of our planet. This is what makes the Laboral Kutxa Bilbao Surf Film Festival more than an event; It is a platform to share, learn and grow together.

A comprehensive experience: more than surfing, a culture of life

Furthermore, by participating in this festival, we not only enjoy great movies and sports; We immerse ourselves in an environment full of music, gastronomy and local art. These experiences connect us even more with our community and with visitors from around the world. Every activity, every screening, and every conversation brings us closer to understanding the magnitude of what it means to be part of a conscious global community.

Immerse yourself in the wave of change

Without a doubt, the Laboral Kutxa Bilbao Surf Film Festival is much more than an event; It's a movement. As a Bilbao resident, I invite you to participate, to be part of the change and enjoy a unique experience. Let's remember the important dates, such as the inauguration on February 28 and the march for inclusion on March 2. This festival is an opportunity for us, the citizens of Bilbao and Bizkaia, to show the world our commitment to sustainability, culture and inclusion.
