THU 1.10. 19.15 KULMASALI – – – BIG VS SMALL / CALLING OF THE OCEAN
Suomifornia official selection 2026 welcomes: BIG VS SMALL / CALLING OF THE OCEAN
When Filmmaker Minna Dufton started her documentary about elite big wave champion surfer, "tiny fighter" Joana Andrade, who rides the powerhouse waves at Nazaré, Portugal (home of the 100ft World Record Wave surfed by Garrett McNamara), little did she know Joana harbored a deep secret.
When Joana shares with Minna that she needs to go train as a free-diver to overcome her fear of drowning, an extraordinary thing happens...
BIG vs SMALL is a modern-day fairytale stretching from the raging monster waves in the south to the dark stillness of a far-north, frozen Finnish lake; it's about power and strength on top of the water, and facing demons under it. It's about trust, it's about letting go, and it's about what happens when two elite champions share their deepest secrets with each other...
...because, the battle isn't on the wave.
