A PRESTIGIOUS annual surf film festival will be making waves in Newquay.

The 14th London Surf Film Festival is presenting best of best featuring award-winning surf cinema and stand out stories from around the globe, which will be staged at The Lighthouse Cinema on Thursday, March 5.

The five films being screened include Kingdom of the Evening, Antarctica – Domain One, Gwynnik, Women of the Sea and No Place Like Home.

Kingdom of the Evening features surf adventurer Kepa Acero travelling back in time to meet an old friend and surf mythical waves.

The documentary Antarctica – Domain One charts renowned adventurers Gauchos del Mar visiting under explored Antarctic waters in search of unridden waves and vital research into the melting glaciers and wildlife below the surface.

Gwynnik is rooted in the Celtic landscape and an appreciation that the chase for surfing fulfilment may ultimately lead back to the narrow roads and cliff paths of home.

Women of the Sea is a journey through New York surf culture via shared meals, shared stories and cold waves.

No Place like Home features Thurso chargers Phoebe Strachan and Mark Boyd showcasing surfing in Scotland.

Demi Taylor, who is helping to organise the event, said: “Taking you from the desert south of Morocco with surf adventurer Kepa Acero and style-master Snoopy, to the frozen edges of Antarctica seeking out unridden realms and vital research into the melting icecaps with the Gauchos del Mar and journeying from New York City's surf community with Karen Song to Celtic coastlines closer to home with the likes of perennially poetic Cornish surfer Mike Lay, Scottish chargers Phoebe Strachan and Mark Boyd, through the keen lens of Seth Hughes and Gabriella Zagni it's a celebration of our global surf community, the things that unite us and the very best of surf culture.”
