30TH ANNUAL CUCALORUS FILM FESTIVAL
presents
The Cigarette Surfboard
THU · NOVEMBER 21 · 2024 · 4:00 PM · THALIAN BLACK
An impassioned surfer, Taylor Lane, creates a functional surfboard with 10,000 littered cigarette butts collected from California beaches. The cigarette surfboard soon becomes a platform to learn from professional surfers who are working to protect and restore the health of the ocean, and the symbol of a grassroots campaign to hold Big Tobacco accountable for their toxic, plastic waste. Surfing is the medium, but the message is universal. The Cigarette Surfboard is a timely reminder that the ocean is ours and we must do more to protect it while also enjoying its joyful role as a site of fun and creative pursuit. Winner of Best Feature at the 2024 Surfalorus Film Festival.
