Special introduction by Norm Hann and Nic Teichrob

Through b4apres Media’s unique style of mashing adventure with real world issues, Stand will take you into the heart of the largest temperate rainforest on the planet―the Great Bear. Hung on the skeleton of a good ol’ fashioned adventure undertaken by a group of surfers, the potential effects of introducing super tankers to these pristine waters will be articulated. As the crew moves through this remote region under their own power, the landscape will be unfurled one paddle stroke at a time and punctuated by the faces and fears of the Gitga’at First Nation people who call this garden of Eden their home. Not just an efficient mode of transport, a stand up paddleboard expedition along the proposed tanker route will be symbolic of “standing up” to preserve this last bastion of rainforest. Captured in cinematic High Definition, the film will bring the Enbridge Pipeline debate into the the collective consciousness in a way that will have you fishing in your basement for that old fluorescent wetsuit.

Dark Side of the Lens

United Kingdom – Mickey Smith

6 minutes

A man tells us of and shows us his passion: speaking to us in a voice-over narration as we see film of the power of the ocean, waves hitting rocks, breaking waves curling, himself filming above and below the surface, and surfers in their element. It’s a Celtic voice and a Celtic sea. It’s the voice and footage of Mickey Smith, an Irish cinematographer of surfing. His words go from philosophical and poetic to homely and matter of fact. The images are both grand and up close.

Fathoms Left to Fall

United Kingdom -

6 minutes

“The yin and yang of a trip. The highs and the lows. The epic rides and the epic falls. Surfing isn’t a easy game to get right, once in a lifetime 50 ft faces followed by a endless search for shelter. Tides reveal dry reefs, squalls break promises. Rain dampens enthusiasm, talk of hidden secrets abound but the wind in it’s infinite wisdom keeps them just that, secret. There’s no urgency yesterday’s euphoria still burns. Another trip another day. No fathoms left to fall.”
