Skate and Surf Film Festival – SSFF10

 

The Annual SSFF – Skate & Surf Film Festival is Italy’s largest celebration of contemporary skate and surf, art and culture bringing to the boot shaped country the very best skate and surf films from around the globe – a selected line up of premieres to inspire and entertain. The festival has become a must attend for skaters and surfers from all over the peninsula.

SSFF – Skate & Surf Film Festival celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2026: ten years dedicated to surf and skate culture, independent creativity, and the building of a unique international community.

To mark this milestone, SSFF evolves its format while keeping its DNA intact: films, music, outdoor activations, talks, and real connections between people, brands, and territories.

The year 2026 will be a special one, with 3 celebratory events designed to broaden its scope, engage new audiences, and strengthen collaborations with cultural institutions, commercial partners, and local communities.

Milan, 7th of June – SSFF celebrates its ten-year anniversary in the city where it all began. In collaboration with the Milano Film Festival (MFF), we present a special day that brings together screenings, outdoor activities, and a celebratory moment with the community.

Vicopisano, Tuscany. 18th and 19th of July – A new immersive experience blending surf/skate culture and local territory. SSFF lands in Tuscany with a two-day, multi-venue festival set in the medieval surroundings of Vicopisano, in collaboration with the Municipality of Vicopisano and DrAnk Surfboards.

Trieste – 12th and 13th of September 2026. A day conceived as a tribute to the SSFF community and to the most significant content from our ten years.
Trieste becomes the ideal venue thanks to the collaboration with Casa del Cinema and the ongoing dialogue with the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region.
