HURU
The Shorties x Northcore: Huru // Dir. Oli Adams
A magical land of left handers. New Zealand with Oli Adams and Billy Stairmand.
“Huru was a passion piece we did on one of the most beautiful lands on earth. I was born in the UK but spent a good portion of my childhood living in New Zealand. After many years since my last visit, I wanted to go back and capture the feel of the magical green land, and the long lefts that make it so special.” Oli Adams

The Shorties
Short films are a central pillar of modern surf culture, a creative outlet for sharing stories and inspiring stoke. Here at the London Surf / Film Festival we wanted to celebrate the short and give homegrown filmmaking talent a platform to bring their visions to the surf world so in 2011 we established ‘The Shorties’. It has fast become one of the most prestigious short film competitions for surf filmmakers in the world.
While the main festival is a showcase for international filmmaking, The Shorties short film contest is open exclusively to filmmakers from or based in Britain and Ireland. Learn more.
