Laguna Art Museum is stoked to present Five Summer Stories: The Exhibition on the occasion of the iconic surf film’s 50th anniversary. Created in 1972 as a love poem to the sport of surfing, the film quickly was named the most important surf movie ever made exceeding the wildest expectations of filmmakers Greg MacGillivray and Jim Freeman. Original artifacts showing how the film was made will be displayed alongside ephemera from the attendance-breaking theatrical release, surf boards, film footage and imagery epitomizing the positive force that comes from riding the waves.

Five Summer Stories: The Exhibition is made possible through a collaboration between Laguna Art Museum and Coast Film Festival where will be screened for a live audience on November 13, 2022.
