It’s almost that time again in Durban, when the crisp winter seas beckon and the South Africa’s premier surf culture event, the Wavescapes Surf Film Festival pulls in.
The Wavescapes Surf Film Festival, again proudly partnered with the Durban International Film Festival, will be heading to Durban with a plethora of award-winning films for a six day feast for Durban’s surf-flick starved surfers to gorge on.
The array of films is wide and varied, and we offer you everything from the mind-bending aerial attack of the Modern Collective to the ultimate trip of the surf gypsey in Cancer to Capricorn. There is the vivid, digital world of the ridiculously rich waves of the North Shore in Fibreglass and Megapixels, but present a dark, drug-scarred underbelly documented in Sea of Darkness.
Feature documentary Lives of the Artists follows Irish surfers, a French snowboarder and a British punk band on a quest for their artistic holy grail. The visceral poetry of the Present is a counterpoint to the rugged 10-year migration to Dungeons in Quest for Fear; while the soul-filled forays into women's surfing in Dear and Yonder flows with the Zen-like escape for Rob Machado in the Drifter.
So regardless of what you are after to quench the thirst of your searching soul, Wavescapes will have something to indulge you.
The festival starts on the 25th of July on the grassy lawns of Bay of Plenty, when you can sit back and enjoy a draught of fresh ocean air while watching a quality flick on our big screen. Thereafter we’ll be at Musgrave Ster Kinekor from the 26th to the 30th of July.
