Rescuing Australia's Surf Film History
Update: 2025-12-29
Description
Jolyon Hoffs mission to preserve Australias surf film history has resulted in the creation of the Australian and New Zealand Surf Film Archive. After discovering forgotten reels in Dick Hooles sheds and across the country, Hoff digitized and restored hours of footage from the 1960s. His efforts have led to the public screening of rare films like Phil Sheppards A Winters Tale and the use of the footage in his documentary, You Should Have Been Here Yesterday. This archive not only saves film but also serves as a time capsule of young Australias coastal exploration and surf culture.
