SWIFF Live 2020: Surfing The Arctic
Icebergs. Blizzards. Hypothermia. Just another day surfing the Arctic.
See the adrenaline-chasers paddling out to the be in the world’s coldest line-up. This 90-minute dual-film session involves a unique screening experience featuring two new jaw-dropping surf films, A Corner of the Earth (dir. Spencer Frost), and Nordurland (dir. Ishka Folkwell), shot in the Arctic circle and produced by two different coastal NSW filmmakers.
Think warm thoughts. Spencer Frost’s A Corner of the Earth, shot in conditions ranging between -5 degrees and -20 degrees Celsius, follows an Arctic expedition to test the equipment and the wills of its devoted pack of surfers, including Frost, Fraser Dovell and photographer Guy Williment. In a constant struggle for daylight, big sets, and blisteringly cold conditions, sometimes you just have to surrender to the moment and enjoy the ride.
Director Spencer Frost will be attending the session to introduce A Corner of the Earth for audiences.
