Celebrating the 60th anniversary of the film “The Endless Summer” shot in Dana Point, the city’s film festival will screen the surf flick May 5 at Salt Creek Beach Park, where the film’s famous promo poster was photographed.

The surf documentary, directed by Bruce Brown was filmed in 1963 and followed surfers Mike Hynson and Robert August on a worldwide surf trip.
