Five Summer Stories - The Legendary Gerry Lopez

MacGillivray Freeman Films will present a digitally remastered 50th Anniversary Special Edition of Five Summer Stories in August 2022 in 100-plus independent theaters nationwide. The film has been newly edited and features a new digital soundtrack. Greg MacGillivray says it’s the best version yet!

"Five Summer Stories" first premiered in 1972 at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium and was quickly deemed “the greatest surf film ever made.” The film’s unusual format—a montage of stories or vignettes—perfectly captured a fractured era in which an explosion of creativity and revolutionary change was shaking down the old order, taking the sport of surfing off into new and unknown territory. Although the film went through several (and increasingly popular) incarnations as it played in theaters over a 7-year span from 1972 to 1979, its fundamental story remained the same—that the pure, innocent joy of surfing was symbolic of humankind’s best possibilities on Earth without war or politics or environmental destruction.

Features the music of the Beach Boys and Honk.
