The movie, directed by, Michael Oblowitz documents elite pro surfer Nathan Fletcher as he travels the world in search of "Code Red" swells.
One of the feat's captured on film was Fletcher being the first person in the world to perform the "acid drop", jumping from a helicopter to catch a 20 foot wave.
"I'm a surfing anthropologist and my baseline is good storytelling," Oblowitz said.
"Heavy Water has all the elements of an action movie except that death isn't a stunt and there are no actors."
The film took out top honours in the highly competitive category of Best Surfing Film in the 2017 Byron Bay International Film Festival as well as winning 2018 Wavescape Category in the Durban International Film Festival.
The movie will screen on Wednesday at 6:30pm, Saturday at 3pm and Sunday at 6:30pm.
