Max lives to explore the world, so when his best friend Jason asks him on a journey up onto the Tibetan Plateau in search of new sources of Yak wool it seems like a slam dunk. But for once Max is reluctant to go away as his wife, Rebecca, is six months pregnant. But with her encouragement he changes his mind and so begins a journey into a 'heart of darkness'. Inspired by Dante's Divine Comedy and the paintings of Hieronymus Bosch. The film was shot on location in Tibet, China, the Himalayas, Oman, Morocco, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Poland and Northern Ireland. For the audience it is both an epic physical journey and an intimate mental exploration. The story has moments of life and death, birth and burial and as such has much in common with the Tibetan book of the dead and the concept of the wheel of life.

'La Frequenza Fantasma' is a film that paints a non-hierarchical portrait of a crumbling village nestled on the mountains of Calabria, in the South of Italy, and balanced precariously between life and death. Engaging with time as physical matter through a careful and protracted period of observation framed through the lens of an animator's eye, keen to allow for minute transformations to occur and unlock all kinds of quiet epiphanies, this film attempts to uncover at once the layers of historical sediment that have accumulated in a particular space through time, and to reap new myths through a personal interpretation and direct encounter with place and narrative.

New Emmissions of Light and Sound is another ground breaking film made by the people who brought you Secret Machine. This time, we've partnered up with world renowned electronica DJ Sasha to create an audio-visual experience like nothing the surf world has ever seen. Watch Taj Burrow, CJ Hobgood, Damien Hobgood, Yadin Nicol and Nathan Webster slide by as you get lost in this trip. Sit back, relax, and open your mind. It's going to be a nice ride...
