FUTURE
This session means a double statement: New ways of financing film productions: Surfing the Wild East is an original documentary film financed by crowd funding. Imberno is the second short-film by up and coming local filmmaker Igor Bellido, representing the future of surf films in our country. Happy Beach is Jack Coleman’s second work, a unique Californian surfer who brings us close to some of the most progressive surfers of our days, and he does it using analogue film equipment. ¿Is the past the future?
The Find, Claiming Nelscott Reef
Erich Lyttle. USA. 2010. 72 min
A new surf break is discovered in the Pacific Northwest and turns out to be one of the 5 largest ridable waves in the world. The dilemma for the surfer that found this wave is whether to keep it secret or tell the world. He decided to tell the world by holding a world class professional big wave contest. He opened Pandora's box by doing so, and created a lot of anger with the local surfers. The Find, Claiming Nelscott Reef is a documentary about the first 4 years of the Nelscott Reef contest, the controversies over the decision to have the event, and the localism that it created to protect this surf break.
