In the organizer's words:
Torn between the freedom of the waves and social constraints, a Moroccan surf instructor is separated from his family by visa hurdles, a French professional surfer fights against gender norms, and a Northern Irish surfboard shaper seeks stability in the midst of a deeply divided society. Surfing becomes their common language.
"Surf on, Europe!" is a political surfing documentary set on the coast of Western Europe and deals with social and political challenges in Europe through the example of surf culture. It revolves around the lives of three surf enthusiasts, each of whom struggles with European norms and ideals in their own way.
Shot over a period of five years, the documentary delves deep into the lives of three charismatic surfer protagonists on Europe's Atlantic coast, exploring the freedom Europe offers them and the constraints society imposes on them.
The film (approx. 90 minutes in German) will be followed by an exclusive discussion with one of the directors. All participants will have the opportunity to ask personal questions to find out background information on the process and production of the documentary.
