On August 30th, 7th House Screenings proudly present EndThis Summer, a three program afternoon-evening festival of surf filmmaking that captures the natural art in all its cinematic splendor through sandy psychedelic surf oddities and cult classics, a program of radical contemporary short films, and a sea-soaked outsider epic.

This discounted pass will grant access to all three of the festival's programs:
2:00pm – PSYCH SURF feat. MORNING OF THE EARTH (1972) co-presented by EXP TV
A deep dive into the psychedelic surf film genre that sprayed forth from the countercultural wave, ft. Albert Falzon's earthy cult classic!
5:00pm - SHREDDING: A NEW LENS IN SURF FILMMAKING
SHREDDING is a short surf film program that invites both lifelong diehards and the uninitiated alike to re-examine how surfing is culturally framed. Within the context of the sport, the term “shredding” has had difficulty escaping its mocking association with a certain archetypal image of the surfer, caricatures like Jeff Spicoli, Bodhi, Zack Morris, etc. Rather than merely decrying this apparent lack of representation, SHREDDING affirmatively undermines those cumbersome and outdated stereotypes by sharing the experiences of those whose very presence on a board redefines the discourse. Through contemporary lenses from as far afield as Morocco to up and down the California coast, we get to see how people are expanding the surf space today. Myriad perspectives, uniquely shaped by similar challenges: feeling seen, gaining access, and eventually, changing that archetypal image of what a surfer looks like.
8:00pm - SURFER: TEEN CONFFRONTS FEAR presented by Hollywood Entertainment
An existential spiritual epic, an intimate family portrait, a conspiracy thriller, and so much more—there has never been a movie or a mystical experience like SURFER: TEEN CONFRONTS FEAR. Equally at home in the slow cinema tradition of Béla Tarr and the classic surf rhythms of Big Wednesday, we invite you to dip into the profound waves of this journey.
