Saltwater Surf Movie Night (OV)

In the organizer's words:

On Tour!

The Saltwater Surf Movie Night goes on tour again in 2025 and brings the magic of the sea to the big screen - in the open air, in a relaxed atmosphere and with a selection of award-winning surf films - in the original with English subtitles.

Premiere highlight:

The Search for Volcano Islands

Never before shown in Germany!

An adventurous surfing expedition to the most remote regions of the Aleutian Islands - a visually stunning film about determination, closeness to nature and the dream of the unknown.

The Aleutian Islands are among the most remote and unexplored places on earth. In this film, five brothers take part in the first boat expedition of its kind and venture into a mysterious region in search of a dream. Director Ben Weiland combines breathtaking images with human stories of perseverance, curiosity and connection to the natural world.

Three moving movie highlights:

Granny Grommets

Over 80 women between joie de vivre, bodyboards and an irrepressible love of the sea.

In the surfing lexicon, a grommet is a newcomer to surfing, usually a younger person. The Granny Grommets, however, claim the term for themselves, ignoring the threat of sharks and the worries of their anxious offspring to conquer the waves of Albanyin Western Australia - with bodyboards in tow. What unites them is their love of the sea! This film ultimately reflects the healing and transformative power that community and friendship have for us in later life.

Currents of Devotion

French professional surfer Maud Le Car discovers freesurfing and puts her heart and dedication into protecting the oceans.

Maud has dedicated her life to the sea: Her goal is no longer to prove anything, but simply to enjoy the waves and give back to the sea what it has given her!

With her association Save La Mermaid, Maud educates new generations about the importance of protecting marine ecosystems. On a trip to Indonesia, she meets a local skateboard club that helps children build a better future. The film shows the connection between the two clubs, both based on the belief that pursuing one's passions, whether in the waves or on the streets, can have a positive impact.

Tides & Trails

Six adventurers in vanlife mode on a wild trip through the Highlands of Scotland - with surfboards, mountain bikes and a whole lot of wanderlust.

Six athletes, four vans, endless freedom: in cold March, the six athletes Finn Springborn, Lena Kemna, Jonathan Isselstein, Lia Geerke, Christina Gindl and Korbinian Engstler head north to Scotland. With them: surfboards, kites, mountain bikes and diving fins! Instead of soft hotel beds, sleeping bags in a camper van. You will be rewarded with the endless expanses of the wild Highlands and the picturesque rugged coastline.

Whether you surf yourself or simply love the sea - this movie tour will bring salt water into your heart. Let's celebrate the ocean - together!
