Argentinian brothers, surfers, and filmmakers, Julián and Joaquín Azulay, have announced that they have a special voice narrating their latest film. None other than the 11-time world champ Kelly Slater will be the English narrator of their movie Antarctica – Domain One, which will premiere at the Newport Beach Film Festival October 19 and 23.
The brothers, known as “Gauchos del Mar,” called it “unthinkable” that Slater would collaborate with them. “(We are) so grateful with Kelly for joining and believing in this cause,” they said on Instagram.
In the film, the brothers head to the southern extremes of the world in search of surf in the name of promoting marine protected areas in Antarctica. The film’s trailer teases extreme weather, sea sickness, and encounters with dangerous animals along their journey – all while isolated great distances from the nearest help.
Slater isn’t a novice with film narration. He also narrated the 2023 documentary The Trust Fall: Julian Assange about the controversial founder of Wikileaks, as well as doing the voiceover for his own penguin character in the 2007 animated film Surf’s Up.If you want to catch Slater’s latest cinematic work, get tickets for the festival here.
