Durban Screenings
A range of films will be screened at two venues in Durban on Sunday 27 July (Giant screen at Bay of Plenty lawns) and at the KwaSuka Theatre, in Stamford Hill Road from Monday 28 July to Friday 1 August 2008.
Cape Town Film Screenings
Clifton 4th Beach: 22 November (17 – 22 Nov as weather days)
Brass Bell, Kalk Bay: 13 - 16 November
Labia Cinema, City Bowl: 18 - 21 November
Cape Town Charity Surfboard Art Exhibition and Auction 3 - 8 November 2008 (Gallery TBC)
The Wavescapes Film Festival is known to be the premier surf-culture event in South Africa, screening the best surfing films from around the world in cinemas and incredible outdoor locations, including the “most beautiful cinema in the world”, on Cape Town’s Clifton 4th beach. The festival also showcases a charity art exhibition, at which South Africa’s top artists decorate surfboards which are then auctioned off to raise money for marine focused charities.
At present there are limited conservation education initiatives that are aimed specifically at the surfing community. The Wavescapes Film Festival therefore represents an amazing opportunity for SOSF to reach out to those who already have an enormous amount invested in the protection of the oceans. SOSF is in a prime position to challenge some of the misinformation and established perceptions about the threats facing the marine environment with a vibrant community that engages with the oceans everyday.
