DOCUMENTARY
BEYOND
In 2016 collective member Mario Hainzl and a team of filmmakers went on a 100 days journey along the western coast of Africa to find the first traces of an emerging surf culture. The outcome was a full length documentary, released in cinemas and awarded in film festivals.
„Beyond - An African Surf Documentary” is not a classic sports documentary about pro athletes who already made their way, nor does the movie aim at indulging in clichees of Africa. Instead the film dares to take an alternative look at the „forgotten continent“ and portraits pioneers, visionaries and the dawn of a new valid perception of this stretch of land: a place with the potential to become a new hotspot for surfing.
12 stories show a West Africa that is changing, little by little. In these episodic stories the movie portraits a lifestyle of individualism, lifestyle sports and personal fullfillment. These changes might produce some frictions in the lifes of the protagonists, but their determination and dedication proves that there is always a way to be found.
