Orange County Film Society

The Newport Beach Film Festival is proud to present our "Endless Summer" Holiday Tree at South Coast Plaza's First Annual Pavilion of Holiday Trees. The Newport... Beach Film Festival recently opened its annual event with "A Life of Endless Summers: The Bruce Brown Story." During the Festival's 21 year history, we have showcased 3 generations of filmmakers from the Brown family, highlighting the active lifestyle of Southern California that is celebrated worldwide. The Endless Summer is a classic surf film that embodies the laid back Orange County spirit and is the only officially licensed holiday tree from Bruce Brown Films in history. Tree decorations include a Limited Edition Bruce Brown Autographed Movie Poster ($3,000 value), plus 2 All-Access Passes to the 2021 Festival ($1,500 value). The NBFF Endless Summer tree, along with 35 other arts organization trees will be on display at South Coast Plaza's open air "Pavilion of Holiday Trees" through December 4th. We invite you to visit the Pavilion and consider bidding online for our tree. The tree will be delivered to the highest bidder in time for your holiday celebration. As you may know, the pandemic has had a tremendous impact on arts institutions this year. Join hands with us in lifting up the arts so we, in turn, can lift up others during a time of great need. Our holiday tree will be on view at South Coast Plaza and available to bid on at www.SCParts.givesmart.com. Tree design by: Meri Wagner Florals & The Bleu Dahlia. #southcoastplaza #southcoastplazaarts #pavilionofholidaytrees #endlesssummer #brucebrownfilms #newportbeachfilmfestival
