Spirit Of Akasha

Produced by noted Australian film-maker Andrew Kidman and mentored by Albert Falzon (Morning Of The Earth), Spirit Of Akasha sets a new benchmark with a creative fusion blending the realms of surfing, music and film-making.

 

World championship surfers such as Mick Fanning, Stephanie Gilmore, Tom Curren, Kelly Slater and Beau Young have joined the new guard of Heath Joske, Harrison Roach, Ellis Ericson and Ace Buchan and Jon Jon Florence, alongside ‘soul surfers’ Fergal Smith, Joel & Kye Fitzgerald among many more.

 

Filmed in locations throughout the world including Australia, Hawaii, Bali, Jiji, Tahiti, Mexico and Iceland, the film uses striking visuals and music reminiscent of the classic Koyaanisqatsi and Baraka, to portray the compelling beauty of surfing and its associated lifestyle.

 

Spirit Of Akasha made its World Premiere at Sydney Festival 2014 at the Sydney Opera House on Saturday 25 January 2014.

 

Spirit Of Akasha soundtrack features mainly original songs composed and recorded by musicians with strong ties to the surfing community and includes a rare Brian Wilson recording. Other artists featured include Xavier Rudd, Angus Stone, Matt Corby, Dirty Three, Grouplove, POND and more.
