UPDATE: We've just added two more screenings to Thursday's lineup. Both are documentaries that have been drawing a lot of attention at the festival.
The first, WHEN THE WORLD BREAKS will screen at 12:30 PM Thursday, April 29th in Edwards Island Theater 5.
Extreme times are also times of heightened creativity and innovation - when necessity becomes the mother of invention - and that perhaps in looking back at Depression-era life, art, cinema, literature, music, architecture, entertainment, culture, politics... we can discover new ways to see ourselves today. Going beyond a look into the Great Depression of the 1930s and the bread lines and dust bowls, there lies a vibrant story of one of the most formative decades in American history.

LIVING IT FOREVER shows at 3:15 PM Thursday, April 29th at the South Coast Village Theater.
Follow the epic era of surfing for Newport Beach, the mid-1950s through the 1960s, chronicling the carefree days of those early surfers who lived the dream as a reality. The viewers meet Newport's earliest surf personalities who, fifty years ago, shared a passion for the sport and the lifestyle despite being ridiculed by society. This film examines their surf culture and the implications it had on what eventually emerged as a multi-billion-dollar industry. It begins with a historic overview of the of Newport Beach's earliest days. Subjects touched on include: the surfboard revolution, fashion, High School, Balweek, and the camaraderie enjoyed by surfers and those around them. Archival footage features certain of these surfers as mere teenagers. The same surfers, in modern day interviews, look back and reflect on their extraordinary experiences.
