It may be the most hotly anticipated surf movie in recent times and this week it’s finally coming to the big screen in Australia. On Thursday 11 September Tracks will host the premiere of Snapt5 during the Jack McCoy Australian Surf Film Fest at the The Orpheum in Sydney. Snapt 5 stars Noa Deane, Harry Bryant and Asher Pacey will also be on hand for a live Q&A.
In line with every other Snapt movie, the fifth edition in the series will feature individual sections from your favourite free surfers, aerialists and hell men – all of which have sat on their best clips for up to a couple of years in order to save them specifically for this film.
Under the Snapt banner, creator Logan ‘Chucky’ Dulien has produced four movies and confirmed that this will be his last. The films have been an integral part of surf culture for many years and have played a pivotal role in elevating the careers of numerous professional surfers.
This edition of the movie will feature parts from the likes of Mason Ho, Harry Bryant, Noa Deane, Jack Robinson, Taro Watanabe, Parker Coffin, Clay Marzo, Asher Pacey and more. For the first time there will also be a dedicated grom section.
The movie first premiered during the US Open in Huntington last month. Since then Logan has been touring the film across the world.
When asked why this will be the last Snapt film, Logan replied: “Having these guys put away their best clips for a couple of years is such a huge ask in the social media age, especially when there is so much pressure from sponsors to be getting a certain amount of clicks and views. I put together Snapt for the love of surfing and I want to leave it all out on the court for this final film. I want to help these guys as much as I can and work hard to produce the best movie possible. I want to leave behind something special and I know that the longevity of these films will surpass any YouTube vlog or Instagram clip.”
Blak Bear Surf Club will also be premiering its movie ‘Ride the Line’ on the night. The film features Balaram Stack, Billy Kemper, Matahi Drollet, Moana Jones and Clay Marzo.
Doors open at 7pm. To purchase tickets click here.
