London Surf Film Festival Presents: SURFILMUSIC – The Highly Anticipated Jack Johnson Documentary
This June London Surf / Film Festival is hosting a very special premiere screening tour of the highly anticipated, SURFILMUSIC. A lifetime in the making, this must-see documentary is an intimate insight into Jack Johnson’s evolution from rising North Shore surf star, to iconic surf filmmaker to world-renowned musician. These special screenings are coming for one night only to London, Cornwall, Devon, the Northeast, Ireland and beyond in a midsummer celebration – you don’t want to miss this! See HERE for full line up.
Before Jack Johnson was a stadium filling, platinum selling musician, he was a surfer. At 17, just a month after Jack Johnson made the trials of Hawaii’s prestigious Pipeline Pro, a serious surf injury at the legendary North Shore reef – resulting in some 150 stitches and knocking out his front teeth – rewrote Johnson’s script and ended his competitive surfing career.
His next step, making surf films with close friends – like the hugely influential Thicker than Water and September Sessions which featured some of the era’s very best surfers like Kelly Slater and Rob Machado – became the bedrock for a broad creative life. Moments captured in and out of the water on his trusty Bolex, later surfaced in his songwriting.
‘When I think about making things – music or film – friendship is the most important part.’ Jack Johnson
Featuring Chris Malloy, John Florence and more, this joyous ode to a surf-enriched life is an education in the art of freedom, friendship and fuelling the creative spirit.
