WEDNESDAY, JULY 6

Tonight's first feature is a surprise title which kicks off the Festival's first of five nights of double-feature evenings of cinema.

THE YIN & YANG OF GERRY LOPEZ (100 mins.) 8:00 pm (time approximate)

Patagonia’s The Yin and Yang of Gerry Lopez, directed by Stacy Peralta, lifts the veil on one of surfing’s most enigmatic heroes. While famous for his calm demeanor in the tube, Gerry built his career with aggressive surfing that left behind a trail of blood and tears. Gerry is radical and Zen. He’s an entrepreneur, family man, movie star and yogi whose influence on surfing is immeasurable. For the first time, his story is told in full.

THURSDAY, JULY 7

McCURRY / The Pursuit of Color (92 min.) 6:00 pm (time approximate)

McCurry The Pursuit of Color is the first intimate feature length portrait of the contemporary photojournalist Steve McCurry. The one thing more poignant than McCurry’s pictures is his tumultuous 40-year career, which he’s spent traveling the globe essentially alone, capturing candid snapshots depicting the complexity of human life. Exclusive interviews with family, friends, colleagues, and with the photographer himself, bring to life the stories behind some of the most iconic photographs of the 20th century. With unique access to the photographer's creative process and unpublished images, we discover how McCurry’s vulnerabilities set him on the path to greatness and we witness first-hand his commitment to record what defines and unites humankind-a race against time in an increasingly fractured and culturally homogenous world.

GRATITUDE REVEALED (90 min.) 8:00 pm (time approximate)

Gratitude Revealed is an unprecedented journey into the science, mystery and pursuit of the building blocks of being grateful. Increasing gratitude is a proven pathway back from the disconnection we feel in our lives; disconnection from ourselves, our planet, and each other. CLICK HERE for the trailer.

FRIDAY, JULY 8

FACING MONSTERS (90 min.) 5:45 pm (time approximate)
Facing Monsters is a candid insight into a man caught between the love he has for his family, and a childhood dream that could ultimately destroy him.

THE STORY OF EVERYTHING (105 min.) 8:00 pm (time approximate)

The Story of Everything explores humanity’s rich and diverse explanations for the origins of life, and presents powerful solutions for the continued health of the planet at a time when we’re confronting the most severe crisis the earth has ever faced. A riveting performance that presses back against climate despair, The Story of Everything incorporates poetry, dance, music, art and special effects to condense 13.7 billion years into an hour and 45 minutes that asks and answers the question challenging humans from the very beginning: “Where do we come from?” And even more.
