Last Hope is a unique meeting of music and film. Created by filmmaker Andrew Kidman (Glass Love, Litmus) and Aaron Curnow of Spunk Records, the project marries 16 short films inspired by the sea with stirring music from Spunk’s revered stable of artists. Appealing to surfers and non-surfers alike, Andrew Kidman and a selection of noted filmmakers elevate the traditional surf film into an artistic vision that dives deep in to the heart of the subculture. Combined with the quiet musical stylings of some of the best independent artists of today, Last Hope is a collage dedicated to the vast and infinite beauty of the sea.

Kidman and band The Windy Hills have been touring Last Hope throughout Australia and the US, including a sold-out sitting at the New York Surf Film Festival. They now bring their aquatic cinemascape to Speakeasy Cinema, augmenting the already mind-blowing soundtrack with a dynamic and evolving live score.

Contributing filmmakers include: Albert Falzon (Morning Of The Earth), Richard Kenvin (Hydrodynamica), Monty Webber, Patrick Trefz (Thread), Jon Frank (Litmus), Michele Lockwood (Kids) and Andrew Kidman.

Music is supplied by Smog, Sufjan Stevens, Explosions In The Sky, My Morning Jacket, Vetiver and Kidman’s own band The Windy Hills.

Screening with The Sounds of Science.
