Five Summer Stories (1972)
12 Apr 1972 • Documentary, Sport • 1h 34m
Heralded as "the finest surf movie ever made," Five Summer Stories is a cultural icon, a time capsule from a watershed era when the world was at a critical crossroads and its reflection was clear in the emerging sport/art of surfing. Against a backdrop of the Vietnam War and the Nixon years, Five Summer Stories was the culmination of the joint surf-film careers of Jim Freeman and Greg MacGillivray. Code name "The Last Surfing Movie" during production, the movie portrays a young, outlaw sport at a strategic point in its creative evolution--and at an historical crux in time. Now you, too, can do what audiences of the 1970s did--you can hoot and scream and go crazy--all in the privacy of your own home. "For the surfing afficianado, Five Summer Stories is an incredible barrage of audio-visual stimulus." SURFER Magazine
