Surfwise

Doug Pray, 2007, 93 mins.

Legendary surfer, Dorican “Doc” Paskowitz, abandoned a successful medical practice to withdraw from the lifestyle of mainstream America. But unlike other American searchers like Thoreau or Kerouac, Paskowitz took his wife and nine children along for the ride, all eleven of them living in a 24-foot camper. The family spent their days living by Doc’s rules on health, fitness, sexuality, and above all surfing. From the director of Hype!, Red Diaper Baby and Art & Copy.

Skype Q&A with dir. Doug Pray to follow screening.

ODE to California

Patrick Trefz, 2012, 9 mins

Anyone who has ever been in the sea understands that the ocean is a vast wilderness, and the northern California ocean reality is not always what it seems. "Ode to California" evades expectations in its depths of all things spoken and simultaneously unspoken. Timeless and provocative, "Ode" is a glimpse into the heart of the ocean and those that live in accordance with it.

Itxasoa eta Lehorra

Patrick Trefz, 2011, 8 mins

An elegant film of artist Jim Denevan drawing in the sand of Mundaka in northern Spain, September 2011. The powerful soundtrack, "Low Tide" by Basque folk musician Mikel Laboa accompanies the equally mesmerizing coming and going of the drawing as it is enveloped by the tide.

Panel discussion moderated by Tyler Breuer with filmmakers TBA.

There will be a Benefit After-Party for Waves for Water Sandy Relief with Djs Matchie and John Dubstar.

Exhibition:

Throughout the week there will be an informal exhibition highlighting works of artist Jim Denevan and filmmaker/photographer Patrick Trefz. A selection of photographs, presented in postcard-like format, will span decades of documenting Denevan's days and drawings on the landscape. Edited film stills from Trefz’s Ode to California convey the essence of an ineffable non-narrative. Like his films, they evoke a timeless and provocative glimpse into the heart of the ocean and those that live in accordance with it. With a longstanding friendship, an intimate dialog surfaces in the pairing of their work.

Morning of the Earth

Dir. Albie Falzon and David Elfick, 1971, 79 min.

Classic, rarely-seen first film from Albie Falzon, creator of renowned Australian surfing magazine TRACKS, and David Elfick come this early fantasy of surfers living in three unspoiled lands and playing in nature’s ocean. The most ambitious surf film of its time—the directors show surfers making their own boards (and homes) as they travel in search of the perfect wave across Australia’s north-east coast, Bali and Hawaii.
