The team behind Europe’s original surf publication, Wavelength has just announced the summer’s line-up of cult classic movies set to screen from atop the clifftop at Watergate Bay, Cornwall. The cinematic summer schedule includes some of cinema's best movies, both contemporary and those that have stood the test of time, delivering a heady dose of nostalgia and entertainment in the most inspirational setting overlooking the sea near Newquay.
In addition to this epic line-up, from Sunday 2nd August, for three consecutive Sunday evenings, the widely-loved Fisherman's Friends band will be exclusively showcasing their story from tiny Cornish fishing village to global stardom, performing their world-famous shanties live from the clifftops before the 2019 movie airs.
Kicking off the cinematic-summer line-up on the Boardmasters festival site is Blue Juice with star Sean Pertwee attending the launch on July 24th for a media photocall opportunity. Fittingly celebrating its 25th birthday this year, the film is described as 'mind candy for those who like surfing and Cornwall'. Blue Juice was released in 1995, starring Sean Pertwee, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Ewan McGregor. The timeless flick follows a small, but hardy, group of British surfing enthusiasts who have learned to make the best of the flat waves and low tides of their homeland.
From Friday 31st July, on five consecutive Friday summer evenings, the team will be running 1991 American action-crime film Point Break, starring Patrick Swayze, Keanu Reeves, Lori Petty and Gary Busey. Full of energetic sequences and surf culture, megastar Reeves plays football star-turned-FBI agent who goes undercover as a surfer to track down a gang of bank robbers. Taking cinemagoers back to 1994, Saturday 1st August will air neo-noir crime film and Quentin Tarantino masterpiece, Pulp Fiction.
On Saturday August 8th, locals and holidaymakers alike can enjoy one of the most beloved films ever made, Grease, following the trials and tribulations of Danny and Sandy, head bopping to the catchy soundtrack and reciting those famously famous quotes. 2001 documentary film, Dogtown and Z-Boys which explores the pioneering of the Zephyr skateboard team in the 1970s and the evolving sport of skateboarding will be screened on Sunday 23rd August and Friday 4th September respectively. And cultural phenomenon, Back to the Future will screen on Saturday 29th August.
