Save the Waves Films

The ninth annual Save the Waves film festival, an evening of surf, adventure, and documentary films, will take place tonight at Atlantic Terrace in Montauk. Doors will open at 7, and a program of short films will run from 7:30 to 9.

After an hourlong intermission featuring a band and a raffle, Taylor Steele’s new feature film, “Proximity,” a visceral portrait of modern surfing, will be shown. A cash bar, absent single-use plastic cups, will be open. Guests can provide their own reusable cups or buy a Klean Kanteen pint cup for $10, one drink included.

General admission is $21.99. A V.I.P. reception with filmmakers, for which tickets are $63.99, will take place at 6 p.m. The evening will benefit the coastal conservation programs of the Save the Waves Coalition and World Surfing Reserves.
