A hard hitting film about the pending extinction of commercial fish stocks will end the Wavescape Surf Film Festival on a sobering note this Monday 20 December.
Three Wavescape Surf Film Festival films this year - Sea of Darkness, Modern Collective and Who is JOB? - have won awards in the annual SURFER Poll, including best documentary and movie of the year for the first two respectively.
The Wavescape Surf Film Festival joins forces with Sports for Development charity Ticket to Ride Foundation to run the ‘Wavescape Ticket to Ride Night’ at the Labia Cinema on Orange Street on Thursday, December 9.
Four films at the Wavescape Surf Film Festival in Cape Town this December have been nominated for Movie of the Year at the Surfer Poll Awards in the US, while Sea of Darkness, made by South African Michael Oblowitz, has been nominated for Best Surf Film and Best Documentary.
Eleven artfully decorated surfboards went on display today in aid of key ocean charities, and they are stunning! Hope to see you at the art party and auction a week from today, ie, Wednesday 8 December.
One of the painted Pottz 80s twin fins at the Wavescape Surfboard Art Exhibition that went live today comes from a collaboration between Tim Cornibear, Claire Homewood and development surfers from the Ticket To Ride Foundation, Masiphumulele. All paint was donated by ProNature, producer of eco-friendly, non-toxic and natural paints. It lies on display at Depasco Cafe, Cape Town, from 1 to 8 December, when it will be auctioned for ocean charity. Click here for more.
Sick photos from films at the Wavescape Surf Film Festival, which kicks off with surfboard art at Depasco Cafe in Cape Town from 1-8 December, followed by the films between 9 and 20 December. Check you there. More info on the films and surfboard art exhibition here.
The 11 surfboards by 13 artists represent a unique mix of genres and styles in South African art from the weirdly apocalyptic Only the Mystic Duiker can Save Us from What We Have Become by Andy Mason to the cute but cruel piscine iconography of 5000 Leagues by Kim Longhurst, and more besides. More on the auction.
The 14 artists involved in the creation of 11 Pottz twin fin surfboards with a difference are an eclectic and yet expansively varied mix of human beings. What does that actually mean? Who knows. Read their bios rather.
The 7th Wavescape Surf Film Festival kickstarts the 2010 summer season in Cape Town with a bumper crop of adrenaline charged movies. Presented by the Save Our Seas Foundation, the festival (from December 1-19) focuses on the critical plight of our oceans, sustainable living and the development of surfing in South Africa.
The poster for the Wavescape Surfboard Art Exhibition depicts the beautiful imagery of Kim Robertson in her trademark child-like graphic style, overlaid by a touch of manga infused with old school Victoria. There is a cutting conflict between the pink girly cuteness and the cruel twist of the human condition like a knife to your heart. See her bleeding feet. See her heart embedded in her womb. Sob.
The new Wavescape Surf Film Festival poster by Fuel Design exhibits the pigdog barrel riding skills of the Wavescape Eye Man as he gets barrelled over briny depths filled with fish and creatures of all shapes and sizes - a tantalising glimpse of how our oceans should look had they not been pillaged by the greed of humankind. Sustainability and looking after our resources has never been more important.
