Tim Bonython has been shooting surfing since 1978, creating over a dozens of films.

This years Festival (dates here) will see a rewind to some of those movies greatest moments.

As Tim explains, “I will be showing the best of some of my classic’s like the Hawaii Nine O series, Gripping Stuff, Biggest Wednesday, Download, Lost in Space & the Snuff series etc.

Some of those flicks are over 20 years old so you are going to notice the huge change in pretty well everything since then till now.

The Present, we look at all the amazing footage that I have shot from this year within Australia & overseas.

The Future is our finale with the best junior surfers in the nation been towed into the biggest waves ever surfed in an event in this country.

The shark-infested wave in South Australia rarely breaks but did with all its glory with 20 to 40 foot faces.

Simply amazing stuff & goes down as one of the greatest events & trips I have covered.

Also included is hot off the press footage shot of the heaviest session EVER at Shipsterns Bluff – featured on the Channel Nine News. The surfers were truly rattled by some of the most serious wipeouts ever out there.

There has been a huge contrast in the change of surfing since I have been shooting.

So with this year’s Jim Beam ASMF we will show you that change with the past, present & future.

ASMF is in our eighth season & it’s all on the big screen with the big sound, which is the only way to view it.

There will acoustic music by talented musician Nick Saxon & heaps of door prizes to be won & given away.”

So if your into all time surf films on the big screen, with some crazy big wave action,

get along and experience a unique night out at the Jim Beam Australian Surf Movie Festival touring nationally in October & November 2009.
