You Should Have Been Here Yesterday combines hundreds of hours of lovingly-restored 16mm footage – uncovered in the garages and dusty cupboards of our original surf filmmakers – with a salt-infused soundscape by Headland and wisdoms from Australian Surfing’s Gurus, Outsider Artists and Intuitives.

This cinematic poem tells the story of a wild community who took off up the coast and discovered a whole new way to live. We’re going back to the never-before-seen camera reels to find out who we are and where we came from.

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.
