Mirroring the independent spirit of both the artist and the event, the film will debut on Friday 29th May 2026 as the headline showcase of the festival\u2019s newly conceived Silent Cinema series. Stepping away from conventional cinema multiplexes, the premiere will immerse audiences directly into the natural landscape of the Scorrier Estate. Attendees will be welcomed into the ancient canopy of the Whispering Woods, taking their seats on bespoke, hand-crafted wooden chairs - built specifically for this experience by resident festival carpenter Merlin, utilizing timbers salvaged entirely from fallen trees during recent UK winter storms. To complement this visually arresting environment, viewers will wear high-fidelity silent disco headphones, completely isolating the rich soundscape and creating a profoundly intimate viewing sanctuary within the bustling festival grounds. Directed by celebrated filmmaker Emmett Malloy, SURFILMUSIC arrived to rapturous praise at its SXSW world premiere earlier this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"et_pb_video_1 et_pb_video et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_video_box\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Jack Johnson, Hermanos Guti\u00e9rrez - Drink The Water (from the SURFILMUSIC Soundtrack)\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/IoIFOjP2dpM?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_1 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><p>The documentary elegantly traces how Johnson\u2019s formative years directing surf films alongside close friends laid the foundational architecture for his global musical career, beautifully illustrating how his experiences in the ocean directly informed his rhythmic songwriting. The feature seamlessly integrates rare archival footage and private family documents with contemporary reflections from definitive cultural figures including Kelly Slater, Rob Machado, Gerry Lopez, and Ben Harper, all set to an exquisite original score composed by Johnson and instrumental virtuosos Hermanos Guti\u00e9rrez. The Great Estate will host three exclusive screenings of SURFILMUSIC across the weekend, providing festival-goers with multiple opportunities to witness the piece before it begins its official international theatrical run on June 5th. The maiden UK voyage will broadcast on Friday 29th May at 19:00, establishing a serene, cinematic counter-narrative to the high-octane live performances across the estate.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"et_pb_video_2 et_pb_video et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_video_box\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"SURFILMUSIC - A Documentary Film, A Soundtrack, and A Tour\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/WSm1SWY97_M?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_2 et_pb_text et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_module et_flex_module\"><div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"><div><span>\"Securing the UK premiere of SURFILMUSIC is a monumental milestone for The Great Estate.
