The classic Australian surfing movie 'Morning Of The Earth' will have a rerun in Sydney and Melbourne later this year with original film being accompanied by a live concert featuring original acts from the soundtrack.
Special guests Lior, Mike Rudd and Old Man River for the screening will join Brian Cadd, G. Wayne Thomas and Tim Gaze of Taman Shud.'Morning Of The Earth' is an icon of the Australian music and movie industry.
The 1972 film had a platinum-selling soundtrack especially written for the movie.
Promoter Michael Chugg said, "Who can forget the summer of '72 - it was Sunbury and it was Morning of the Earth - what a time!"
Producer for Morning of the Earth - The Original Film & Music Live in Concert, Amanda Pelman from Chugg Entertainment said, "Some films stay with you all your life, and crystallise a certain philosophy of living - Morning of the Earth was that defining moment for me. I am lucky enough to have Brian Cadd as my life partner and I will share all the musical memories of this project with him when he plays it live. This show is a culmination of these amazing images and sounds with great contemporary artists like Lior performing because he totally 'gets it' in the now. I hope you as the audience will too."
Original Morning of the Earth film director Albert Falzon said, "I've lived and breathed the lifestyle portrayed in this film for many years now, and it is truly wonderful to think it is now experiencing a renaissance. The essence of surfing never changes, regardless of how big the associated corporations get. New audiences and generations seem to constantly draw inspiration from its visuals, idyllic lifestyle and the music which is such an important part of the whole - and for me, that is a very humbling evolution to witness."
The Morning of the Earth film and music Live In Concert is on:
September 27, Sydney, The State Theatre
October3, The Palais, Melbourne
Tickets go on sale through Ticketmaster on July 11.
