"Bold, insightful programming, a laid-back rock and roll atmosphere and gorgeous seaside locale no doubt contribute to the 'summer camp for filmmakers' vibe, making Cucalorus the best kept secret on the indie fest circuit." – MOVIEMAKER Magazine

In addition to explosive and engaging films, the festival supports innovation through programs like Dance-a-lorus, a live performance featuring collaborations between choreographers and filmmakers; and Visual/Sound/Walls, an experimental venue crammed full of music videos, surf movies and installations.
