Surfrider Foundation Australia, a not-for-profit agency dedicated to protecting Australia’s oceans, has launched a series of film events across Australia’s east coast to raise support for their campaign to Save The Southern Sea from fossil fuel exploration. Their eighth stop will be at The Orpheum, Cremorne, on 14 November.
Each stop will involve a screening of a brand new surf film, Southern Blast, by award-winning director Matty Hannon, which features iconic Australian free-surfer Torren Martyn, interviews with environmental marine consultants such as Annie Ford, and an original soundtrack including the likes of Australian musician Kim Churchill and Manyuung.
At the event at The Orpheum, the Surfrider team will also be joined by Gumbaynggirr and Yaegl singer-songwriter Maanyung, who is set to perform before the screening.
The campaign aims to pressure the government to cancel a proposed seismic blasting permit searching for gas across the coastlines of South Australia, Victoria and Tasmania.
Surfrider Foundation Australia will be teaming up with Ben & Jerry’s for the film event series (Tour D’ Ice Cream) across Australia.
