Flotsam Arts Festival

Flotsam Festival, a multi-site film and photography celebration inspired by surf culture, is poised to set the Gold Coast awash. The second annual Flotsam Festival will run from Monday 1st May to Sunday 14th May, 2023.   

Flotsam Festival brings together surfers, filmmakers, photographers and ocean lovers to experience inspiring stories related to beach culture though pop up film and photography events peppering precincts in Burleigh, Palm Beach, Currumbin, Tugun, Kirra and Coolangatta.   

Programming will include a maelstrom of short film premieres, workshops, in-depth discussions with film makers and photographers, and photographic exhibitions staged both indoor and out.  

Flotsam Festival is presented by Flotsam Arts Inc., a not for profit association formed to create pivotal events that showcase the Gold Coast’s iconic surf culture through photo and film, and to create opportunities for photographic artists to extend their practice through mentorships, workshops and exhibition opportunities. Flotsam Festival is proudly supported by Major Events Gold Coast.
