Kayak Movie Extravaganza! Thursday Dec 2nd, 6PM, Galway
« on: November 24, 2010, 01:11:39 »
Hey folks,

On December second, in conjunction with GKC, we've got something pretty special lined up.

We'll be showing in the Eye cinema two films from acclaimed German adventurer, kayaker and film maker Olaf Obsommer. He has been producing award winning expedition adventure films for nearly two decades. His most notable projects are his Sickline series of kayaking films which cover his worldwide adventures from Africa and Asia to the mighty rivers of Norway.



Being showcased are his latest films; "The Kingdom of Waterfalls" (Iceland) and "The Book of Legends" (Russia)
For more info about Olaf see Olaf's Webpage and for a taste of his productions see Sickline Movies.

There will additionally be short movies from local watersports movie makers,
and headlining the evening will be WildWater, a movie from Doug Ammons and Forge Motion Pictures.
and

"WildWater is a journey into the mind and soul of whitewater, into the places only river runners can go, places of discovery, solitude and risk. Its a visually stunning feast for the senses, and an expedition into new ideas...borrowing Hollywood film tools and techniques, including RED digital cinema cameras and high speed film, WildWater brings not only new perspectives, but new images to kayaking and the world of adventure cinema. "


And finally, if that weren't enough, BOTH directors, Olaf Obsommer and Anson Fogel of Forge Motion Pictures will be in attendance, describing their adventures and the challenges of extreme sports film-making.


Where: The Eye Cinema, Dublin Road, Galway
When: Thursday 2nd December, 6PM
