A new documentary celebrating one of the few women big wave surfers to conquer the incredible swells at Nazaré in Portugal is screening next weekend as part of the virtual Virgin Media Dublin International Film Festival.

BIGvsSMALL follows courageous Portuguese surfer Joana Andrade as she confronts her fears of the water, and takes on an unusual training programme in the frozen lakes of Finland with a champion free diver revered in her own right.

The film streams next Sunday 16 March from 4pm for a limited time for viewers on the island of Ireland, and includes a Q&A with the director Minna Dufton hosted by film-maker Claire Dix.

Tickets are available now at the VMDIFF website HERE.
