Australian Surf Movie Festival – Take 3  

11 December 2004 – 25 January 2005

"The Quiksilver Australian Surf Movie Festival presented by Tracks is heading into its third major season. Premiering in Tahiti on Saturday 4 December, Australian’s first screening is on Saturday 11 December at the Harbord Diggers in Sydney, and the Festival then tours the country.

Event director Tim Bonython has organised a record number of shows, with 40 screenings in South Australia, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia and New South Wales in December 2004 and January 2005.

This year’s festival presents Tim’s eagerly anticipated new surfing documentary, BLACKWATER – The story of a place called Teahupo’o. Two years in the making, Blackwater is Tim’s second full-blown documentary since Biggest Wednesday. Over 50 interviews, unbelievable footage from 28 different cameramen and a story of the scariest, challenging surf location in the world called Teahupo’o in Tahiti.

As well as Blackwater, ASMF will be screening Layne Beachley’s behind-the-scenes flick, LIFE IN THE FAST LAYNE, as well as a story on one of the world’s hottest new surfers RY CRAIKE.

We will also look at a unique new event staged at the beautiful island of Tavarua in Fiji called the KELLY SLATER INVITATIONAL.

The festival line up also includes THE MENTAWAIS EXPERIMENT, a story of one of the world’s most playful surfing locations - the beautiful Mentawais Islands, Indonesia. It features Luke Munro, Ry Craike, Kelly Slater and Dane Reynolds. Audiences will also see a short trailer of big wave madman Ross Clarke Jones’ life story, THE SIXTH ELEMENT.

Budding surf film producers are being given the chance to have their work seen. ASMF and Tracks have created a competition for amateur producers to submit five to 10 minutes of footage, with the producer asked to include a dog and a garden gnome as signature items in a short film. Not only will the winning entry have their short film included in this year’s festival, they will also win a great prize pack from Bose, Sanyo and Quiksilver."
