Have you seen that Instagram meme about wanting to skip ahead to 1995 instead of facing a new year, usually with an old high school photo? Director Tamra Davis (“Billy Madison,” “Crossroads,” “Half Baked”) is aiming for that same nostalgic feeling with her new documentary, “The Best Summer.” The film features previously unreleased concert footage, behind-the-scenes moments, and interviews from the 1995 Summersault festival in Australia. Davis was married to Mike D from the Beastie Boys at the time, and the festival lineup also included major alternative rock bands like Sonic Youth, Foo Fighters, Pavement, Rancid, Beck, the Amps, and Bikini Kill. Interestingly, the footage was found while Davis was evacuating her home during the Malibu fire last January. — Vanessa Franko
