     In 1964, film maker Bruce Brown decided to follow two surfers around the world in search of a perfect wave. On a budget of only US$50 thousand, with a 16mm camera, he captured the essence, the adventure, and the art of surfing. Hence the renowned The Endless Summer. From the waters of West Africa, through the seas of Australia, to Haiti, two surfers from California achieved their great dream: to try the wildest waves in the world.

     Shown in Brazilian cinemas in the sixties, under the title Alegrias de Verão, the film - with a sequel in 1992 - will be presented in copies re-made.

     Produced and directed by a film maker who was then 28 years old, the documentary is, even today, that of greatest influence on surf.
