Australia, 1970s. The Kelly brothers, Andy (28) and Jimmy (22), have
one great passion: riding big waves. As kids, their mother escaped from
Sydney to Margaret River, a sleepy coastal town with some of the world's
most challenging and dangerous waves. For the next 12 years, the boys
perfected their surfing skills, always searching for the perfect ride.
Free-spirited Jimmy is a gifted surfer and innovator but he starts to
slip toward a life of crime to help the family out of debt. Andy makes a
big decision. Quitting a
stable job, he bets on Jimmy's surf inventions and his own business
skills and launches a backyard surf gear business.
Set in breathtaking locations and inspired by the true story of
Australia's legendary surfwear moguls, the film chronicles the rise of
surf brands and the expansion of the laidback surf attitude as a global
lifestyle. A story of passion and corruption, friendship and loyalty,
deadly addictions and fractured relationships, Drift tells a tale of
courage and the will to survive against all odds.(c) Official Site

This is the latest in George Gittoes' award-winning documentaries about war and the human stories of hope and redemption ( Soundtrack to War , 2005 and Love City , Jalalabad , 2013). Ukrainistan Artist War continues this vital focus, showing the wars raged by artists against invasion. It is an urgent and essential film that delivers an outcry of optimism that humanity can end violent conflict and embrace peace through creativity. Ukrainistan Artist War is an anti-war film in the tradition of Picasso’s Guernica. Gittoes and partner, producer/musician Hellen Rose, go beyond the headlines and behind battle lines of Ukraine and Afghanistan to candidly capture the tragedy of those now displaced and separated by the Russian-Ukrainian war. This screening will be a very special event as the documentary makers (local residents of Gerringong area) will be with us to talk about their work, their art and to answer questions.
