Definitely see this!
The film beautifully captures village life and tells a great story about people who live a simple life but have truly life changing dreams that could be made possible by surfing. I love the adventurous nature of surfers that means it reaches a place like Vanimo, which is a remote part of a remote country.

As a Papua New Guinean woman I went to this film hopeful but admittedly with a bit of trepidation. So often the country is portrayed in such a negative light but I loved this film. I’m so pleased the film makers didn’t patronise or use tired stereotypes just to make a film about surfing. The issues treated by the film…opportunities (or lack thereof), family and clan politics, the role of women, domestic abuse, alcohol abuse, being ‘big headed’, and so many others can be extrapolated to the whole country. I’m glad the film shows the discussion  about these themes between Papua New Guineans, the dated and modern views, and not westerners trying to educate the natives. It also shows the power surfing could have to help change attitudes. It’s a really well paced film that follows characters you want to know more about and root for, in a beautiful place that you rarely get to see. 

In a nutshell, highly recommend seeing this film!

Not your everyday surf movie
Surfing as a modern day pastime is complex. There are all kinds of Surfers; professionals, weekend warriors, local legends, beginners, and veterans. Many companies sell the surf image via clothing and accessories, for some that is the closest they will ever get to riding a wave or understanding the sport.

I am lucky, I get to surf and I am grateful. That being said, how is it for other surfers around the world…what does it mean to them? We all dream of that perfect place where we can be one with nature, but what if you lived in that place…what would it be like? Would the rules that we live by still apply? Splinter’s offers the movie goer an up close and personal glimpse into island life and all that it has to offer. There is beauty, there is grit and sometimes violence. The director does an excellent job of capturing the complexities of each character, this includes triumph, hope and at times defeat.

For me, Surfing in this film transports you into the characters lives and it transports them beyond their village into the outside world, our world. Regardless if you are a man or woman, It’s up to each character to ride their wave however and wherever they want. How far they go is up to them.
