At the Espace de l’Ocean in Anglet, and in presence of many film-makers and members of the Jury, Bruno Delaye announced the 2011 selection : 16 films and 3 short films in competition, and one film out of the competition.

Once again, the films were selected along the same criteria that have made the success of the festival: amazing action footage, innovative film-making and music and an unique story-telling.

‘I meant to offer the largest and most eclectic variety of films to achieve a good balance between the latest blockbusters and productions that give a different perspective on our sport”, explained Bruno Delaye.

Bruno Delaye also introduced the Jury, presided by Hawaian Bernie Baker and made of some great names in surfing and media, in the likes of Pascal Josèphe, Nelson Monfort, Patrice Héraud, Franck Laporte-Fauret, Brigitte Darrigrand, René Bégué, Philippe Malvaux and Yann Bénétrix.
Joel de Rosnay and Jean Louis Poupinel will be Presidents of Honor of the Festival.
