Here is some words from the festival they wrote about us.
Los geht’s mit der Deutschlandpremiere von „Surfing & Sharks“ in den Zeise Kinos in Hamburg-Altona: Der Film erzählt die Geschichte von südafrikanischen Surfern, die in ihrer Heimat zeitgleich zu dem besten Swell der Saison auch den „Sardine Run“ im Ozean vorfinden. Dieses Naturspektakel lockt auch den weißen Hai an. Die Surfer stehen vor der großen Entscheidung: Die perfekte Welle surfen und dabei in Lebensgefahr begeben? Die Liebe zum Brett wird entscheiden.

It is guest curated by acclaimed wildlife artist, author and environmentalist Richard Ellis, who is working to bring together both art and science in documenting the world’s never-ending fascination with these celebrated creatures of the sea. In addition to drawings of all the known varieties of sharks in the world, the exhibition contains photographs, sculptures, and video as well as a section devoted to the sensational impact of the 1975 Steven Spielberg film Jaws. In recent years, attention has turned to protecting the habitats of these magnificent animals and the exhibition documents advances made in those areas as well, including the July 2011 banning of all commercial shark fishing by the island nation of the Bahamas
