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 North Canyon
Garrett McNamara, Polvo Concepts, Paulo Caldeira. Portugal. 2011. 52 min
DINO CASIMIRO KNEW HIS TOWN OF NAZARE had something special to offer to the world. In 2005 he sent a photograph of the North Canyon to Garrett McNamara, extreme waterman and ocean explorer. Five years later Dino's dream came true... Garrett would come to Nazare to give his canyon the recognition it deserved. What Garrett found in this small village was the 8th wonder of the big wave surfing world. A geological phenomenon, a 1,000 ft. deep trench that runs all the wave to the shore, creating ocean waves of over 100ft only 50 yards from the beach. The canyon, being as deep as it is, is also home to undiscovered species.
Garrett not only found what he had been searching for his whole life, he also found the Portuguese culture, the gastronomy, the thirst for discovery and the friendships that will remain a lifetime ...
