Mar 15-16: Surf film hits all the right waves

March 3, 2025 admin

A historical surf film that was partly shot in Raglan is premiering at the Raglan Old School Arts Centre, 5 Stewart St, Raglan on Saturday 15 March and Sunday 16 March at 7.30pm.

Historical surf movie covers how International superstars of the waves took on Kiwi surf legends

AI. Tearoa explores the inaugural Vodafone Surf Sessions in 2005, where international superstars of the waves Andy Irons, Mark Occhilupo, Sunny Garcia and Joel Parkinson took on Kiwi surf legends Maz Quinn, Morehu Roberts, Bobby Hansen and Daniel (DK) Kereopa. Although the actual competition was hosted at Piha, the film starts with the surfers taking part in a powhiri (welcome ceremony) at Poihaakena Marae the day before the event. Director Redeye says the film captures the spirit of the powhiri and the Whāingaroa mana whenua who opened their arms to the surfers, in an eye-opening and sound moving experience for the international contingent. “Sunny Garcia and Andy Irons were absolutely blown away by what they experienced at Poihaakena Marae. You can see it on their faces – it was spine tingling.”

Film previews Sat, March 15 at 7.30pm and the red-carpet premiere is on Sun, March 16 at 7.30pm, Raglan Old School Arts Centre, 5 Stewart St, Raglan. Limited seats bookings online at http://raglanmovies.nz/

Connections between Irish and Spanish music come alive in the Rumba Reel, whilst Galician and Irish jigs dance in unison. New arrangements of music from Brittany (France) and Cape Breton (Canada) further his explorations of global Celtic culture. Kiwi Connections Praised by the New York Times for the "power and grittiness" of his music, Flynn’s latest compositions reflect the landscapes and cultures he’s encountered during his decade-long travels around New Zealand. These Irish-Kiwi pieces combine the beauty of Celtic music with the unique spirit of Aotearoa, offering a distinctive musical journey that blends his Irish heritage with his adopted second home. What to Expect Whether you’re new to Flynn’s music or a regular at his annual NZ shows, the 2025 tour promises a vibrant mix of new compositions and familiar favourites, including: The Irish haka ‘O’Neill’s March’, enlivened with a hint of Flamenco. Intricate, soulful arrangements of O'Carolan’s baroque harp music. The infectious energy of Celtic jigs and reels, spanning centuries of tradition. An Immersive Journey Flynn’s performances are more than just concerts—they’re immersive journeys through heritage and history. With his virtuosic guitar playing and engaging storytelling, he brings new life to the rich tapestry and heritage of Celtic music.

Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy, Grammy and Tony winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo (Harriet, Broadway’s The Color Purple) as Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart. The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. Glinda's unflinching desire for popularity sees her seduced by power, while Elphaba's determination to remain true to herself, and to those around her, will have unexpected and shocking consequences on her future. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West. DIRECTOR: Jon M.

Wicked, the untold story of the witches of Oz, stars Emmy, Grammy and Tony winning powerhouse Cynthia Erivo (Harriet, Broadway’s The Color Purple) as Elphaba, a young woman, misunderstood because of her unusual green skin, who has yet to discover her true power, and Grammy-winning, multi-platinum recording artist and global superstar Ariana Grande as Glinda, a popular young woman, gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to discover her true heart. The two meet as students at Shiz University in the fantastical Land of Oz and forge an unlikely but profound friendship. Following an encounter with The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads and their lives take very different paths. Glinda's unflinching desire for popularity sees her seduced by power, while Elphaba's determination to remain true to herself, and to those around her, will have unexpected and shocking consequences on her future. Their extraordinary adventures in Oz will ultimately see them fulfill their destinies as Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West. DIRECTOR: Jon M.
