Africa By Kayak featuring The Animators
Documentary film: Africa by Kayak supported by music outfit: The Animators: Presented by Wild and Outer Edge magazines.
Film:
In 2007, Australian Beau Miles attempted to paddle a sea kayak from one side of Africa to the other. Hand in hand as filmmaking and expedition project, a state-of-the-art, HD camera was mounted to the bow of his 15 foot kayak. The journey would follow the coastline for over 4000 kilometers, through 3 diverse, often volatile countries. Mostly solo and unsupported, Beau had allowed five months. That was the plan.
Malaria, cyclonic weather, massive swell, freak waves, enigmatic locals and constant corruption, is back dropped with typical adventure, hardship and reward. All on film, it returns to the basics of expedition travel and shows that true, modern day adventures are still out there.
The 60 minute film has been re-worked since premiering in Victoria in 2009, with the new film showcasing unseen footage and original score by The Animators. Having been selected at the 2009 Montreal Adventure film festival and nominated for most outstanding Film production by Outer Edge Magazine, the new cut of Africa by Kayak promises a gripping evening of high adventure.
For a truly different night of film, music outfit- and film score producers, The Animators will play live for 30 mins at each of the showings.
Beau will attend each show and will elaborate on the journey with a Q/A session at the end of film. Sponsored products will be given away as both spot and raffle prizes, whilst a new Youth Adventure Foundation will be launched.
