Southern Edge - A sailing and Surfing Exploration of Tasmania
Surfer and adventurer Torren Martyn and his best friend and film maker Ishka Folkwell attempt to circumnavigate Tasmania in two 18ft sailing kayaks on a quest to surf remote waves.
What starts as a novel idea to accomplish a sailing feat soon evolves into a rare opportunity to connect on a deeper level with the entire coastline of Tasmania over a few months of slow travel.
The film portrays the uniquely diverse landscape, wildlife and ocean energy of this rugged island coast while connecting with people that share their love for this land in the Great Southern Ocean.
All proceeds from the screenings will be donated to the Surfrider Foundation and The Great Southern Reef, which are dedicated to protecting the oceans.

Directed by Clémentine Bourke
Produced by Laure Mayer
Dust is a surf film following 4 friends chasing Western Australia’s elusive right-handers across vast deserts and isolated coastlines.
What begins as a wave hunt quickly unravels into misadventure, dry humour and the kind of comedy that only long miles and high hopes can deliver.
A story of friendship, persistence and not taking the search too seriously.
Starring: Laure Mayer, Cameron Staunton, Claire Vanders, and Anthony Spencer.
