Film Night - Big vs Small

From: March 21st 2026 until March 21st 2026

BIG vs SMALL is a modern-day fairytale stretching from monster waves in Portugal to the dark stillness of a far-north, frozen Finnish lake – it's about power and strength on top of the water and facing demons under it. 

This documentary by Finnish filmmaker Minna Dufton tells the story of "tiny fighter" Joana Andrade, a big wave surfer from Portugal, who travels to Finland for an extraordinary training session with champion ice diver Johanna Nordblad. 

It's about trust, letting go, and what happens when these two champion atheletes share their extraordinary talents with each other, exploring their love, fear and fascination with deep water and the power of the ocean. 

Running time: 76 minutes 

BBFC Cert: 12A

Tickets £5 on Eventbrite.
