See this film: Splinters @ the Regent w/ live surf rock

Decades ago, someone left a surfboard behind on the beach near a remote village in Papua New Guinea. The inhabitants had no knowledge of the sport at the time, but today they are among the world's most skilled competitors, and surfing is essential to their society and culture. Adam Pesce's documentary Splinters (2011) is both a fascinating ethnographic case study and an inspirational sports story. It screens tonight - with a live performance from surf rock outfit Tsunami Of Sound -at the Regent Theatre, 7 Medford St, Arlington | Thursday, January 19 @ 7:30 pm | $10 | 781.646.4849 or regenttheatre.com.
