Morning of the Earth ( 1972 ) made by Alby Falzon was intended as an environmental statement presenting or suggesting an idealistic world in which surfers lived in harmony with the powers of nature. This was presented without narration or sub titles, and without any attempt to identify the surfing or the surfer's locations, using music and imagery to provide an emotional context, and the lyrics of songs to reinforce its simple message. Source
In doing so Alby Falzon captured the imagination of a surfing generation, and created a piece, that still speaks in volumes to surfers today.

  • @Pigroota the forces of the universe and the elements of space, mate - no god in that

  • I loved this 10 years ago. But now I am bemused by the religious overtones of "creation" in the opening music and title, and here's why: god is a very human concept with all the subjectivity and doctrines that go with it. Religion and creationism are therefore anthropocentric rationales - rationales that subvert the overall message of this movie whose focus is on nature and harmony with the environment. Besides that, religion is not compatible with the rubric of harmony in the first place!

  • brilliant and timeless! thank you.

  • what Syntox said.

  • WOW.
