CFF: The Cigarette Surfboard

USA, 2024, 93 mins.
DIRECTOR: Ben Judkins
WITH: Taylor Lane, Jack Johnson, Cliff Kapono, Easkey Britton

Ben Judkins, a documentarian and avid surfer hailing from San Francisco, brings us an immersively vivid documentary that provides viewers with an up-close experience of the ocean through surfers’ eyes, to contextualise and amplify a message of urgency and possibility regarding the ocean’s wellbeing. Not only does he explore the surfer's responsibility to protect marine life, but also showcases what one can actually do to counter pollution in an age of greenwashing and shoulder shrugging on behalf of those responsible for pollution at large.
