POINT OF CHANGE SCREENING | LAYBACK CINEMA @ BOMBIES

We’re partnering with Surfers for Climate, for a film night & panel conversation. We’ll be screening the surf short Point of Change, followed by a conversation and Q&A with the director Rebecca Coley.

Point of Change

An island community dramatically changed forever by the 'discovery' of a perfect wave in the 1970s. The remarkable and previously untold true story of the first surf pioneers to 'discover' the 'Point' on the isolated Indonesian island of Nias and the dramatic consequences and the devastating social and ecological repercussions for the people and place that followed. A contemporary, cautionary tale of paradise lost. POINT of CHANGE is a compelling and dramatic documentary feature film told through a unique blend of previously unseen archive, contemporary interview and beautiful animation, featuring music by Stephen Wareck and Paul Oakenfold, with local musicians, to reveal an all too resonant picture of a society changed forever by powerful economic and environmental forces outside of their control.
