The countdown has begun! Only a few more days left until the opening night of Ombak Bali, South East Asia’s one and only surf film festival. Once again, the big screen is rising up from the sand on Seminyak beach for three starry, salty nights filled with epic adventures, fascinating stories, personal crusades and, of course, lots of great surf action from around the world.

"The salt trail 3"

July 18 / Opening night

Kicking off this year’s event on Friday are two visual gems. The first one ‘The Salt Trail’ delves into the true meaning of surf travel. Journeying through Indonesia from the crowded breaks of Bali to the isolation of the Mentawais. Award-winning director Mark Waters will be flying in from the UK to present his film to the public along with some of the cast.

Second highlight of the night is ‘The Old, the Young and the Sea’, an adventurous road trip along the Atlantic Coast of France, Spain and Portugal. The film frames a vivid snapshot of European post-modern coastal culture, which is significantly influenced by the hippie heritage of the 60s, modern surfing pop industry and the vital relationship of coastal inhabitants with mother nature.
