BLOCK10 – ONDE NOSTRE presents the third edition of SKATE AND SURF FILM FESTIVAL, to be held at BASE in the heart of Navigli Area in Milan from the 9th to the 12 of May.
SSFF brings to Italy a showcase of the most interesting skate and surf movie premieres from international and home grown talents. It aims to inspire an alternative idea of sport and to present to the public a growing culture through documentary films, travel adventures, hair-raising action, and hypnotizing cinematography.
SSFF is directed by Luca Merli and produced by BLOCK10/ ONDE NOSTRE a collective of surfers, skaters, filmmakers, photographers and cultural commentators dedicated to preserving and communicating the spirit of surfing. Block10 is the production that makes the Onde Nostre project possible.
