Splinters
Tuesday 19 June 2011 In the remote seaside village of Vanimo in Papa New Guinea, a single surfboard cuts a deep schism between the old ways and the new age. An Australian pilot left a surfboard on the island in the 80’s. Twenty years later, surfing has developed into a pillar of hope, but it is splitting.

SPLINTERS
Papa New Guinea 2011 Video HD, 94min
Director: Adam Pesce
Surfing represents more than fun, and is seen as a ticket on the gravy train of the West, but seats are limited. Wrapped in violence, passion and the sheer instinct of survival of the fittest, this story of stoke and anger will make you shiver and smile. In the mould of gritty documentaries like Sea of Darkness and Bustin' Down the Door, some scenes are disturbing. Parental guidance suggested.
