'You Should've Been Here Yesterday' In Cinemas
Fresh off a whirlwind tour, playing two dates a day for a month, Hamish and Jolyon from the Surf Film Archive have secured a short cinema run for 'You Should've Been Here Yesterday.'
Jolyon emphasises the 'short' - some cinemas might only have the one showing. Check your local cinema here.
And if you're not aware what the film is about here's a brief synopsis:
"A poetic homage to Australia’s early surf-culture with unearthed footage set to an original soundtrack.
"You Should Have Been Here Yesterday combines hundreds of hours of lovingly restored 16mm footage with a salt-infused soundscape by Headland. This cinematic poem tells the story of a wild community who took off up the coast and discovered a whole new way to live. Going back to the never-before-seen camera reels to ask the question – what do we keep and what do we leave behind? Featuring Tim Winton, Wayne Lynch, Bob McTavish, Albe Falzon, Evelyn Rich, Maurice Cole and many more. Inspired by Moonage Daydream and Jen Peedom’s Mountain."

I caught one of the earlier screenings and can recommend it as a worthy watch, for anybody on the fence.
Thanks for posting. Pleased to see screenings in WA
Thanks! Screening at these Western Australia cinemas now. Luna Cinemas Leederville, Luna On SX, Reading Belmont, Reading Busselton
But you need to go quick. Worth it to see the footage on the big screen. And if we get a few along it makes it way easier to bring more films to WA cinemas!
Get along Clivus and take Gary G with you
I went yesterday afternoon! Great footage
Good man. Great to see it's getting supported.
Went and saw it last night at the Pivotonian Theatre in Geelong.Thoroughly enjoyed,brought back memories of going to the old local halls to watch the travelling Surf Flicks.Well done to the Surf Film Archive guys
Thanks Liney!! Appreciate the feedback and support. More from the archive coming soon!
Went and saw it in Melbourne with the teenage kids and dad (who surfed in the era the footage was filmed). My teenage daughters still talk about how good the movie was and I think Dad also really enjoyed seeing the old footage, it bought back memories. One day it would be great to get see the footage with a live band!
Saw it last Friday, definitely worth a watch!
