Münster Barrels: Film fest celebrates the tube
The very first Heroes By Nature event will be kicking off in Münster September 5th, 2013, with a special program of surf movies focusing on the ultimate, elusive sensation…the tube. Taking place at the Münster Cineplex –the largest of it’s kind in Germany –an incredible line-up of surf cinema will showcase some of the most stunning water footage ever captured.
Call it what you like; the tube, pit, barrel, keg, mystic eye, shack, green room, Torquay time tunnel…getting deep inside provides surfing's ultimate sensation, setting it apart from all else. The tube is the place where time slows down and sensory perceptions are heightened, the ultimate thrill that countless surfers the world over sacrifice everything to chase.
After over half a century of tube-riding exploits, it remains surfing's ultimate sensation, it’s Holy Grail. Paying cinematic homage to that spectacular rush, the inaugural installment of Heroes By Nature focuses on the lengths the world’s greatest wave riders will go to in search of the biggest, thickest, deepest tubes.
An jawdropping program of surf movies will take the viewer across Australia’s wild oceans, where the huge tubes explode over shallow reefs in ‘Storm Surfers 3D’, to the four corners of Africa, where audiences will discover the world's longest barrels in a special cut of ‘The Africa Project’.
Cinema goers will be able to experience first-hand the rush of riding deep inside, witnessing a unique perspective a relative few have ever seen first hand, as stunning ocean cinematography and cutting-edge 3D technology combine to create the definitive surf movie double bill.
Special guests in attendance on September 5 will include big wave icon Ross Clarke-Jones and two-time world champion Tom Carroll, who will introduce their critically-acclaimed documentary ‘Storm Surfers 3D’and answer questions from fans. Also in attendance will be ‘The Africa Project’ director Jason Hearn and cutting-edge big wave surfer Grant ‘Twiggy’Baker.
