The Rock Radio is back at The Bay, this time enjoying one of the most electric visions of violence and vengeance ever committed to the big screen. Quentin Tarantino expertly directs (and acts alongside) a sprawling cast of Los Angeles’ most depraved and lovable psychos. With unmatched cinematic style and a caustic yet charming ear for rambling dialogue, this is the film that firmly established one of America’s most beloved contemporary film artists as a powerful independent voice and master of his craft.

Director(s): Ben Judkins
Rating & Run Time: (NR) 1 hour and 33 minutes
Join us for this special presentation from the SLO International Film Festival! Ben Judkins’ documentary takes viewers around the world (via a surfboard built from 10,000 littered cigarette butts) to learn about the importance of the ocean and what an inspiring cast of professional surfers are doing to protect it. The film is solution-driven with an optimistic outlook for the future of our planet – it opens up the dialogue for audiences to explore what anyone can do to take action in their personal lives and local communities. Surfing is the medium, but the message is universal. Followed by a Q&A with the director after the show.

The spirit of adventure is thriving at the Bay Theatre with two real-life stories of taking to the open road on one’s own terms. Two similar stories of a skateboarder making their intrepid way across the farm roads and lonely highways of America, one from local legend and filmmaker, Jack Smith, about his 2003 push to raise awareness for Lowe Syndrome, and another about Chad Caruso’s push from Venice Beach to Virginia Beach to raise awareness for mental health. Never underestimate the power of the push!

Rating & Run Time: (PG) 3 hours and 47 minutes
Release Year: 1962 Cast: Alec Guinness, Anthony Quinn, Jack Hawkins, José Ferrer, Anthony Quayle, Claude Raines, Arthur Kennedy, Omar Sharif, Peter O'Toole
David Lean’s epic masterpiece of one man against all odds is coming to our screen for one show only! See Peter O’Toole as the titular unlikely hero, whose blind faith in himself and seemingly reckless abandon in the face of insurmountable odds steers him time and again on his complicated path to glory, or something like it. A testament to the power of following one’s own sense of what’s right in small moments that lead to tremendous results.

Join us with the Morro Bay Maritime Museum for this special presentation of the riveting documentary account of the largest peacetime Naval disaster in history! Devil’s Jaw is the name of a treacherous pass of the Pacific between Point Conception and the Channel Islands, and when a fleet of Navy destroyers attempted a speed run from San Fransisco to San Diego in September of 1923, a string of spooky coincidences and unlucky decisions saw seven speeding ships careen into the California coast in a historic pile up. This documentary paints a vivid and exciting picture of the events.
