Leaving behind the comforts and absolutes learned over time and featuring a hard charging crew including Pete Devries, Cam Richards, Sanoa Olin, and more this cinematic showcase is an ode to the rewards of embracing the cold unknown.


EUROPEAN PREMIERE: The Life & Death of Westerly Windina

The untold tale of one surfing’s most enigmatic figures, Peter Drouyn was a rockstar character, driven competition surfer and innovative thinker. Combining intimate interviews and rare archival footage, the film highlights Drouyn’s seminal contributions while exploring the isolation and struggles he faced behind that swaggering public persona, and his eventual transition into Westerly Windina. From acclaimed director Alan White and renowned writer Jamie Brisick, this is an essential exploration of identity and unflinching query into selfhood. “Astonishing…groundbreaking and important…” Tracks Magazine
