Kayak film to be shown at Town Hall

A film described as a “love letter to water” will be shown at Llangollen Town Hall on Saturday October 28.

Dave Manby, who has organised the event, said: “It’s a unique kayak film looking beyond adrenaline and ego and has a focus looking into a modern revival of pioneering surf kayaking films of the 1970s - it’s a love letter to water.

“When I saw this film I immediately thought of Crystal Voyager, the early 1970s surfing film - a beautiful film with none of the machismo of most ‘kayak porn’ that gets posted online.

“Stunning settings and footage and a specially composed score which, to my mind, elevates it above its surfing inspiration. You can almost feel the effort that must have gone into making this film. 

This is not a film just for kayak paddlers – its appeal is far greater than just this niche audience.

“The guys who made River of Mirrors will be there for a Q&A session at the end.”

There will also be supporting films on the night:

* Bren Orton will be there to present his latest footage from his recent exploits.
* One Breath around the World Free diving from locations around the world.
* Next Stop Sneg. Siberian skiing and boarding.
* Riverboarding Pete Patterson 2012 show reel of river boarding rapids most people would not want to paddle let alone swim.

Doors open at 6pm and films start at 6.30pm. Entry is £10.
