Believe

Tue, 15 Jan 2008 00:00:00 -0800

Believe strikes another blow for the common surfer, a quiet, reflective statement of pure surfing devotion, as epitomized in the lifestyles of a fascinating cast of characters. The messages in Believe are simple and timeless - ride whatever kind of board fires your imagination, regardless of design fashion trends. Respect your elders, tend to the young, cherish the everyday, do what you love. It's refreshing to see the great soul surf documenter Andrew Kidman on the other side of the lens for a change, explaining his philosophies on surf, music, art, design and family, and witness him ripping on his fish with a raw power and style that belies his gentle art making sensibilities. As well as the illuminating Rasta, Albe Falzon, Chris Brock, Neal Purchase and Kidman sections, there are also insightful vignettes on the Fitzgeralds, Steve Cooney and Damon Harvey, Beau and Nat Young, legendary board builder Joe Larkin, innovative photographer Dave Kelly and Matt McHugh from the Beautiful Girls. There are the pervading themes of inter-generational surfing, and the stoke of passing on your love of the ocean to your kin, and more exploration of the surfing/music synergy. But this film also has something poignant to say about loss and how great art can be born from grief, and that's a precious message to share. Terry Fitzgerald, enjoying a new burst of shaping inspiration thanks to his talented surfing sons riding his '70s boards, points out: "Surfing needs to have variables, it needs to have variation. It needs to have more than just ... the high performance side of the sport because surfing is more than 10 points and $100,000. For most people it's a take off, two turns and a wipe out and that's what they've got to get through the week." Music by: Andrew Kidman, Band of Frequencies, Nicko, Afro Dizzi Act, Milton Brown, Birds from Windy Hill, Will Corner, The beautiful Girls.

Five Summer Stories

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

Fueled by the promise of selling their used cars for double their value at the end of the trip, the crew goes on the ultimate surf trip from Los Angeles through Mexico, El Salvador, Nicaragua, to the legendary surf destination of Pavones, Costa Rica. Part comedy, part philosophical diversion, the film investigates the myth of the surfer dude. "Employing a hardboiled Hunter S. Thompson-esque narration style crossed with a driving surf-meets-Spaghetti-Western soundtrack (masterfully scored by Herwig Maurer). this soulful 16mm film lets you ride shotgun on a 7,000-mile surfing pilgrimage, complete with flat tires, Federales and happy buzzards feasting on bloated roadkill" - Steve Barilotti, Surfer Magazine "This is the movie Bruce Brown would he made if he followed Hunter Thompson and Jack Kerouac down to Costa Rica with nothing in his boardbag but Super 8 film and Cuervo!" - David Geffner, The Surfer's Path

Glass Love

Wed, 05 Dec 2007 00:00:00 -0800

Glass Love is a beautiful surfing film which shows all those who see it why surfing is the greatest sport of them all. Featured are some of the most important surfers of the last 30 years including Tom and Pat Curren, Wayne Lynch, Michael Peterson (MP), Rabbit Bartholomew, Skip Frye, Oscar Wright and Derek Hynd. Andrew Kidman is an artist, musician and filmmaker. He embodies a time when surfing was all about getting back to nature and enjoying the ocean in a more spiritual sense rather than the hi-octane, corporate-sponsored world surfing has become. "Over the last five years I have been involved in the creation of Glass Love. Surfing in itself is a beautiful form; taking place in diverse locations with complex characters; I had ideas I wanted to articulate through motion and sound incorporating this. The process has been a lengthy one because to capture and present it with the meaning and feelings which surfers experience takes time. Also, the ideas I had changed with every wave that passed and with every person that I met and knew. In the film I wanted to feature the generational link and love of surfing that gets passed down through families, in particular through the Curren and Purchase families. The sons are surfers and their fathers are surfer/shapers. It was nice to peek in on a small part of their relationships and how surfing makes them special. This, and the continued experimentation with board design were the highlights for me in making this film. Overall in the making there were many stories, some made the cut - some did not. But rather than dissect them all here in words, I'll leave it to you to see the film. I hope you enjoy it. We are all very blessed to be surfers. " -Andrew Kidman
