AMAYSIM AUSTRALIAN SURF MOVIE FESTIVAL
It is once again time to celebrate the surf, sand, sun and sea with the 11th Annual Amaysim Australian Surf Movie Festival.
The festival is touring around Australia presenting independent surf movies and incorporating local businesses, surfers and music.
Tim Bonython, director of the initiative, says that the movies on display this year showcase the thrill of surfing, particularly in Australia.
“When it comes to surfers verses nature and the pure exhilaration of what the ocean can deliver, the Southern Hemisphere has the greatest playground of options on the planet,” he says.
The two documentaries, The Journey and Encoded, feature surfing legend Kelly Slater and reveal amazing footage of some of the best surfing locales in the world.
Accompanying the screenings will also be entertainment for guests with live music and lucky door prizes, including cameras, surfboards, wax and headphones. (SOC)
