ONDA LATINA / LATIN WAVE
ONDA LATINA - LATIN WAVE
FRIDAY 23 OCTOBER 6:30PM
A collection of South American surf films travelling through coastlines, communities and very different ways of living with the ocean. From Brazil and beyond, the films capture the energy, characters and cultures surrounding surfing across the continent, from everyday life on the beach to adventure, ambition and the pull of the next wave.
Along the way, they explore the relationships people build with place, family and community, and the ways the ocean can become part of identity, survival, freedom and belonging. Together, these stories offer a vivid portrait of surf culture across South America, shaped as much by the people and places as by the waves themselves.
Doors open at 6:30pm, films start at 7

Lúcio Firmino, known as Feroz, is a familiar voice on the coast of EspÃrito Santo. A descendant of the Tupiniquim, he has built a life firmly on his own terms. Through scarcity, grief, single fatherhood and the pressures of a conservative environment, Lúcio remains fiercely himself, forging deep connections with the people and coastline around him. Among the waves of his local beaches, the ocean becomes a place of healing, resistance and survival - and a constant at the heart of his life.
