Filmmakers Spencer Frost and Guy Williment and the Australian surfers Letty Mortensen and Fraser Dovell spent two years planning a trip to the remote Kamchatka Peninsula, in Russia’s Far East. They were in search of uncharted waves where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Okhotsk. “I think it’s any surfer’s dream to score untouched, undiscovered waves,” said Dovell a few days before traveling to Moscow. Then, an hour before the group boarded their flight, Russia invaded Ukraine, and what began as a surfing trip transformed into much more. Corners of the Earth: Kamchatka is a mesmerizing documentary that unveils the raw beauty of a remote peninsula and intimately illustrates how a shared love for surfing can transcend borders between Australians and Russians. —Carolina de Armas
