Greatest Surf Movie In The Universe
The London Australian Film Festival continues with utterly unhinged adult animation, THE GREATEST SURF MOVIE IN THE UNIVERSE.
In 2033, after the memory of surfing has been completely washed away following a global apocalypse, the God of Waves (WSL commentator Ronnie Blakey) must enlist the greatest surfers in the Universe to revive the sport once and for all. An intergalactic stop-motion animated adventure comedy, interspersed with wave-based live-action, this is a surf movie like no other!
Presented by Luke Hemsworth, and starring world champion surfers Mick Fanning and Kelly Slater – alongside cult faves Craig Anderson, Mason Ho, Griffin Colapinto, Jack Freestone and Matt Wilkinson - this very adult film needs to be seen to be believed. Think “Team America” meets “Point Break”, with a particularly Aussie approach to ‘vernacular’ language, and you’ll get the idea.
Best leave the kids (and your brains) at home for this one!
Australian snacks and sweets will be on sale, and a raffle will be held before the screening.
With thanks to Central City Media.

WHY WE CHOSE THE FILM:
Laila (Director):
"If you loved Team America then pull up a chair & watch the trailer - you’ll either love or loathe it. The programme was looking a little bleak until we found this one - I nearly wee’d myself from laughter. There’s a ton of C bombs and a fight scene armed with dildos. Be warned & be quick - I reckon this is gonna be a sell out."
Stephen (LAFF Co-Programmer): “It may not be for everyone, but if you don’t mind parking your brain in the bar, I highly recommend immersing yourself in 80-odd minutes of unbridled silliness. This will be brilliant to see with a late night crowd!”
