General 4 — FEMME OCEAN

„Femme Ocean is a documentary about women in surfing, where women from all backgrounds are invited to share their experiences and to discuss the power of sports impacting lives.”

— Annika v. Schütz

The Project

In addition to the question of the motivation to dedicate a life to surfing and indulge in the anarchic forces of nature, the documentary provides time for deeper insights into this passion and, above all, shows an authentic picture of the surfer far from her stereotype. Five 10-minute portraits of international surfers demonstrate their waves of life in a very personal way. The stories open the doors to their personality and show what is hiding behind their sunshine façade. They are professional athletes and free surfer, stand for pioneers, environmental activism, independence and risk-taking. Diversity plays a key role here - in terms of age, social background, religion as well as different backgrounds and professions. One thing unites them: surfing as a motivation to live and to protect the place they love, namely the sea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
