OUT OF PLACE explores the underground surfing community of Cleveland, Ohio, dating back to the early 1960s, where Vince Labbe and his friends brave brutal weather and dangerous water on the shores of a city reinventing itself. Why This Film Matters: Surfing belongs to warm coasts in the popular imagination; this film finds it on the cold, grey edge of Lake Erie, kept alive by obsessives who refuse the idea that it doesn't belong there. It is a quietly moving study of place, identity and loving something the world says you shouldn't.
