Given is the simple yet powerfully contemplative story of a unique family legacy come full circle.
Told through the visceral experience of a 6 yr. old, Given follows legendary surfers Aamion and Daize Goodwin from their island home of Kauai through 15 different countries in the quest for surf and to fulfill a calling handed down through generations.
Set in wave after wave of stunningly visual earthscapes, Given blooms into a tender yet stirring exploration of a young boy’s understanding of life through his familial bonds and their reverence for nature.
Deeply moving, Given gives us the humbling contrast of a small voice voyaging through a big world as it finds its way home again.

THE SMILING BAG:
French Premiere
39 minutes – 2016 (Australia)
Trailer : https://vimeo.com/195175453
Directed by Dion Agius
You won’t be sorry you did either, The Smiling Bag is a full length film featuring Craig Anderson, Noa Deane, Chippa Wilson and Ozzie Wright all doing utterly ridiculous things on surfboards.
It’s filmed under a psychadelic haze on 16mm film … the way surf films were always meant to be!

THE SPONSORED organization
IMMERSION SURF MAG
We have a passion: surfing.
We tasted it, we went back there and we became addicted ... Much more than a sport, it is a way of life, an experiment of the fluidity and the randomness of the elements.
But it is above all a pure pleasure, a renewed joy in effort and surpassing oneself.
IMMERSION was born from this passion and the desire to communicate it.
It is a magazine intended for all surfers whether they are beginners or experienced, because we have a common vision: generosity and sharing around surfing and the ocean.
"The voice of women's surfing
Water and Surf culture"
