The Tenth Coastal Currents proved a resounding success. It provided a more in-depth and varied focus on the visual arts, and also brought back the film festival Shot By the Sea into the Festival time-frame, allowing for many connections to be made across different arts genres and included two stunningly beautiful lighting-up events: pictured here, the weekly Pier to Eternity bike rides and Kimonos at Sunset up at The Beacon.
