A new documentary chronicling Jack Johnson’s evolution from surfer to filmmaker to world-renowned musician, SURFILMUSIC traces how Johnson’s early years making surf films with close friends became a foundation for a much broader creative life, capturing moments in and out of the water that later surfaced in his songwriting. Blending rare footage from those formative surf films and Johnson's personal and family archives with present-day reflections, the film weaves together how lived experience, friendship, and exploration shaped the sound and stories behind the music.
Organist David Rhodes and the Mighty Wurlitzer preshow concerts welcome attendees as they arrive. The organ lights up 30 minutes before the screening, so come early and enjoy the music!
A discussion will follow the film.
