UK PREMIERE: Kingdom of the Evening - Dir. Clint Davis

In 2010, young adventurer Kepa Acero, travelling alone in search of empty waves, met a 15-year-old grom named Yassine. Though they barely spoke the same language, they shared waves, tagines and an unspoken connection. Fifteen years later, Kepa and Yassine – now known as Snoopy, and a local legend in Taghazout -will meet again for the first time. But life has changed—just like Morocco. The dusty fishing village has transformed: boutique hotels line the shore, and Anchor Point is packed with digital nomads chasing Wi-Fi and waves.

They embark on a journey to find what once was—empty line-ups, pure stoke, and that elusive feeling of freedom. But things don’t go as planned… The dream they’re chasing may not exist anymore…

One thing will never change: hope. They still believe that somewhere along this coast, there is a wave just waiting. Empty and perfect. Undiscovered. Or at least, that the story they keep telling themselves…

A tender and honest tale of rediscovery and the perils and rewards of retreading old paths with one of our favourite surf adventurers Kepa Acero. Come for the film and stay for a lifetime of tales with our long time friend.

Accompanied by a special Q+A with surf adventurer Kepa Acero.

 

WORLD PREMIERE: Winter Kooks - Dir: Katie Tozer and Teegan Neame

Winter Kooks dives into the lives of two land locked Alberta surfers embracing the raw intensity of cold-water surfing. Set on the frigid glacier fed rivers, this heartwarming film follows their journey as they seek solace, adrenaline, and connection in one of the most unlikely surf spots on Earth. A powerful story of finding warmth and community in unexpected places.

 

UK PREMIERE: Frostbite - Dir: Oscar James

Australian surf phenomenon Ned Hart dives into the brutal beauty of Ireland and Scotland for the first time in his career. A hypnotic dance of courage, colour, and cold. This is cold-water surfing reborn.
