\"opener2010\"The \u00a0AMSTEL Surfilm Festibal<\/a>8 2010<\/strong> -June 3\/4 & 9\/13, Donostia – San Sebasti\u00e1n (Basque Country, Spain)- has gotten off to a great start.<\/p>\n

On Thurday June 3, and after the official press conference with Chris Malloy<\/strong> (who is presenting 180\u00ba South<\/a><\/strong> in Europe during the AMSTEL Surfilm Festibal<\/a><\/strong>), things started off with the Spanish premiere of the 3D documentary The Ultimate Wave Tahiti. <\/strong>Although the screenings didn’t take place at the normal venue (Teatro Principal) that didn’t deter the crowd from attending; several hours before the start there weren’t any tickets left .<\/p>\n

The following day (Friday 4) saw the opening of the Idiosyncrasies<\/strong> photo exhibition, with Patrick Trefz<\/a><\/strong>, at the NoColor<\/a><\/strong> art gallery. Idiosyncrasies is also the name of Patrick’s new surf film, and it will be premiered<\/em> on Friday June 11<\/strong> at 21:00 at the Teatro Principal.<\/p>\n

By 21:30 people were slowly congregating towards the back of the iconic Kursaal <\/strong>building near the Zurriola beach. As the sun was setting the local band from Zarautz Buffalo Band<\/strong><\/a> were releasing jazzy tunes and everyone was chilling out and getting ready for a big night. Soon after Jeff Johnson<\/strong> and Chris Malloy<\/strong> (main character and director) jumped on the stage to present the much awaited 180\u00ba South<\/a><\/strong>. A crowd of around 1000 people watched the movie in complete silence – apparently the biggest crowd the movie has had so far- soaking thebeauty of the images and the important messages. After that it was time to party with the screening of Point Break<\/strong> while Elena y su conjunto<\/strong> played the original soundtrack life, life performances at different moments of the film and a huge party at the nearby Bar Ondarra<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
