Self Discovery for Social Survival

“Self Discovery for Social Survival” is a unique surf and music film created through the collaboration of Brooklyn’s Mexican Summer record label and New York’s Pilgrim Surf + Supply, a brand focused on surfing and outdoor activities. The film unfolds in three distinct segments shot in Mexico, the Maldives, and Iceland. It features musicians such as Allah Las, Connan Mockasin, Andrew Van Wyngarden from MGMT, and Peaking Lights, who join forces with professional surfers. Together, they embark on an exploration that intertwines music with the rhythm of the ocean, the natural surroundings, and the local cultures. The film is beautifully narrated by the iconic avant-garde filmmaker Jonas Mekas.
