The Surf Film Archive

Description

At The Surf Film Archive we spent the last three years finding, scanning and restoring Australia and New Zealand's lost surf films. We'll be posting a new clip each week, and adding BTS and commentary from the filmmakers and surfers. Subscribe to keep up to date. All the footage you will see was originally shot on film, and has been scanned from the highest possible copy we could find, sometimes even the camera reels. Everything is scanned and shared with permission by the original filmmakers or their families. Most of this footage has rarely been seen in 50 years, some has never been screened to the public before We hope The Surf Film Archive will become a comprehensive resource for generations to come, and once completed we will gift the original scanned files to an Australian Museum or institution for safe keeping. Please get involved in the comments. This is our history. Let's look after it. Want to know more, sponsor the Archive or get involved further? Please contact us.
