ABOUT THE FILMS:

Of the Sea Saturday, July 28
Few California fishing families remain. In 1981, there were nearly 7,000 families; today there are only 1,800. To revive a fading way of life, Bay Area fishermen and entrepreneurs are exploring ways to support sustainably produced seafood.
Beneficiary: California Fisheries Fund

STRAWS Saturday, August 18
It is estimated that each day in the U.S. alone up to 500 million plastic straws are used
once and thrown away. Sound like a problem for the environment? This look at the
history of straws and their impact on the environment will make you reconsider how you
order your next drink.

Blue Serengeti Saturday, September 22
2017 IOFF OCEAN SCIENCE AWARD - Vaster than the Great Serengeti Parks of Africa, the Pacific Ocean is brimming with its own predators who swim across the ocean to feed on the abundant prey in the waters of the California National Marine Sanctuaries. Renowned Stanford University marine biologist, Dr.Barbara Block, uses cutting edge camera tags to track the movements of marine creatures, giving us a rare, first-hand perspective on the life of a great white shark.
