Founded in 1994 in North Carolina, Cucalorus Film Foundation is an inclusive, sustainable, global community of independent media artists – building financial and creative careers through project funding, workforce development programs, project development support, exhibition, education, and residencies.
Cucalorus centers storytellers and media makers as dynamic contributors to engagement and impact in the world.




The 15th annual Surfalorus Film Festival returns to Wilmington and Wrightsville Beach August 7–9, bringing together three days of surf films, inspiring stories, and coastal community celebrations.
