LS/FF BEST CINEMATOGRAPHY
Gwynnik // Dir. Seth Hughes
Rooted in the Celtic landscape featuring sublime surfer and Penwith poet Mike Lay, Gwynnik, ‘little fair one’ is a journey home, an appreciation that the chase for surfing fulfilment may ultimately lead back along the narrow roads and cliff paths of home. A beautiful big screen, big audio delight.
WOMEN OF THE SEA
Surf, Eat, Repeat // Dir. Karen song
A journey through New York surf culture via shared meals, shared stories & cold waves
At a time when even the line up can feel divided, this timely tale celebrates the rich diversity in surfing. Surf Girl magazine spoke exclusively with filmmaker Karen Song about the project >> HERE
LS/FF SHORTIE OF THE YEAR
No Place Like Home // Dir. Gabriella Zagni
Surfing in Scotland is cold, that’s a given, and at this time of year can take next level motivation. But for Thurso chargers Phoebe Strachan & Mark Boyd there’s no place like home… Celebrating and elevating the very best homegrown talents.
