LONDON PREMIERE:

“YI-WO is a prayer, a habitual ritualistic gaze into the depths of the vast unknowable. YI-WO is a celebration of very purposely selected forms of the connective water sliding pursuits. It's a poem, a place to be or not to be untangled. A space for your time, to possibly honour the practice, this existence and the paths potential dimensional expansive qualities.” Thomas Campbell

 

10 years in the making we’re privileged to host this very special screening of the highly anticipated Yi-Wo from celebrated artist and filmmaker Thomas Campbell, whose seminal surf films “The Seedling”, “Sprout” and “The Present” spurred a paradigm shift in the culture that redefined and reshaped the very art of waveriding.

 

“A study in timeless surfing and style of the highest order…”  - Surfer Magazine

 

The Locations filmed are: Fiji, Morocco, Indonesia, Costa Rica, Australia, Utah, Hawaii and California.

 

Shot predominantly on 16mm film by Thomas Campbell, Dave Homcy, Scott Soens, Chris Bryan and Tyge Landa among others.

 

Soundtrack by - Cone Cinq, Spacemen 3, Group Inerane, Tommy Guerrero (with Josh Lippi and Matt Rodriguez), Arthur Russell, Kassia Meador and Alex Knost, Duane Pitre, Ray Barbee (with John Herndon and Josh Lippi), Fuck Buttons
