PORT Macquarie Surf Life Saving Club, in association with the Port Macquarie Surfing Museum, is bringing the Save the Waves film festival to town on Sunday, 21 June.<\/p>\n
The festival will be held at Flynn\u2019s Beach from 3pm to 6pm. Entry is via a gold-coin donation.<\/p>\n
A fund-raising raffle will be held on the afternoon of the festival with a Pieter Shaped twin-fin surfboard up for grabs.<\/p>\n
The festival is part of a global tour by Save The Waves Coalition and is geared to bring communities together for a night of adventurous and inspiring films for a good cause.<\/p>\n
Organisers say that the Save the Waves Film Festival (STWFF) is the world\u2019s only international surf and environmental film fest.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s lineup of short films features surf breaks from California, Ghana, Portugal, the Azores, Canary Islands, Indonesia, Australia, Peru and Mexico.<\/p>\n
The festival is also a showcase for surf ecosystems conservation, with new films about those who are the frontlines of coastal protection.<\/p>\n
Tickets and proceeds benefit surf ecosystems worldwide through Save the Waves environmental programs.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast year, STWFF screened in 12 countries with 50 community-led events,\u201d said Lauren Parrino, the festival\u2019s director of communications.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re expecting additional stops and even more locations this year.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Port Macquarie Surfing Museum has just upgraded its website to include a Save the Waves brochure containing a QR code that can be scanned to make a booking.<\/p>\n
Interested people can also call into the museum on the first floor of Port Central, where volunteer staff will help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PORT Macquarie Surf Life Saving Club, in association with the Port Macquarie Surfing Museum, is bringing the Save…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":730549,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[64,63,105],"class_list":["post-730548","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/730548","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=730548"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/730548\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/730549"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=730548"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=730548"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=730548"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
