Surf movie director Tim Bonython is taking the Australian Surf Movie Festival on tour with the movies ‘Wild Australia – The Journey’ and ‘Encoded’.
Both movies feature American pro-surfer Kelly Slater. “The first one was down to Shipsterns in Tasmania easily the best day ever there in years. Kelly mixed it up with Laurie Towner, Wade Goodall and the locals in perfect 15 foot sunny bomb waves.”
“I invited Kelly to the desert coast with Californian Alex Gray & young up and comer Russ Bierke from southern NSW. As Kelly tells us “if the Great Whites don’t get you then the swarms of flies will.” Even though they survived the sharks & flies, Kelly and crew found some amazing waves in and around the dust.”
“Two months later I headed back to that region that I have been politely naming on social media as ‘Spot X’, with Mark Mathews, Richie Vass & Ryan Hipwood. The guys are confronted by flies, big sharks & perfect slabs in a location known only to its devoted locals.”
“Intermission of the show this year will include the amazing and generous traditional ASMF door prizes thanks to our associated sponsors and local supporting sponsors at each show. After intermission will be the Short Film competition winners of the 2012 AMAYSIM ASMF who have won the chance to have their film screened as part of the tour.”
“The main feature film of this years AMAYSIM ASMF is called ENCODED. It is part 3 of the BLACKWATER series about Teahupo’o. The Teahupo’o wave located on the south western side of Tahiti, is no doubt the worlds most dangerous wave and when its on, the best surfers want a piece of it.”
The Australian Surf Music Festival will also include live music from instrumentalist Jack Dawson at selected non-cinema shows.
