Welcome to the first-ever Coronado Island Film Festival!
We can’t think of a better way to spend a winter holiday
weekend than to celebrate the amazing and magical art of
filmmaking. The rich moviemaking history our island has
shared with Hollywood for over a century has given our
brand new festival its strong beating heart, and the exciting
filmmakers of today that you’ll discover this weekend will
help it learn to fly.
We are especially grateful to our venerable Presenting
Sponsor, the Hotel del Coronado, which has opened its
doors to Hollywood since the beginning, and to the City of Coronado, our Major
Sponsor. Without them all, this would not be possible.

Coronado Island
A picture-perfect paradise
Diego’s city fathers were soon courting
John D. Spreckels, the sugar and
shipping magnate, and he was happy
to invest in San Diego — and more so
in Coronado where he soon owned the
hotel and the entire peninsula.
and his family enjoyed music — at the
time an organ — and he also constructed
and donated to San Diego what was
then and now the largest outdoor pipe
organ in the world, the Spreckels Organ
Pavilion in Balboa Park.
Spreckels was a benevolent
leader in Coronado, granting land
for the library, parks, the hospital,
and to early aviator Glenn Curtiss,
who established a flying school on
Coronado’s North Island, heralding
the birth of naval aviation.
And Spreckels loved the arts. When
he decided to move to Coronado from
San Francisco in 1906, after he and his
family lived through that city’s disastrous
earthquake and fires that followed, he
built a beautiful home on Glorietta Bay
(now the Glorietta Bay Inn). It featured
then, and today, a music room where he
Coronado’s sense of community
may also trace its roots to Naval Air
Station North Island, the largest military
base on the West Coast of the United
States. NASNI is home to 23 aircraft
squadrons, more than 80 tenant
commands and aircraft carriers, most
recently welcoming the USS Theodore
Roosevelt. Many Coronado families
are connected to the military, which
encourages community involvement,
particularly important when a spouse is
on deployment.
Coronado has also had a close
connection to Hollywood for over a
Hotel del Coronado
You would be hard pressed to find a
town with a greater sense of community
than Coronado.
Maybe it’s because of the city’s welldefined borders — the “island” (really
a peninsula) is bounded on one side
by the Pacific Ocean, the other, by San
Diego Bay and connected to mainland
San Diego by the blue San Diego–
Coronado Bay Bridge and a thin strip of
sand to the south.
From its very beginning, Coronado
was planned as a seaside resort by
its developers, Frank Story and Elisha
Babcock, who first visited the island in
18
1885. The enterprising gentlemen from
the Midwest designed the Hotel del
Coronado and laid out the streets for
the city simultaneously, figuring that
the land sales would finance their hotel
development.
They almost made it, but a national
recession caused many of the mortgage
holders who purchased property from
the “Coronado Beach Company” to
default. Lucky for Babcock and Story
that a gentleman from San Francisco
happened to sail into San Diego aboard
his yacht The Lurline in 1887 to stock up
on supplies as he headed south. San
19
century. Many writers have chosen
to live here, including L. Frank Baum,
author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz
and 13 “Oz” sequels in addition to his
other works, numbering 55 in total.
There was even a movie studio a
century ago in Coronado — the Lubin
Studios was located on First Street, near
the foot of Orange Avenue, close to the
ferry pier, which at the time was the
main artery to San Diego. (Car ferries
stopped service in 1969, the year for San
studio. In 1915 he expanded his studios
to California (including Coronado)
and Florida. John Spreckels offered
Lubin a $1 a year lease and Lubin
invested a huge amount at the time,
$10,000, to build a studio — complete
with extensive facilities, repair shops,
dressing rooms and garages — all
surrounded by a castle-like wall.
Unfortunately, Lubin was unable to
keep up with the increasing pace of
technology, including multiple reel
Loews Coronado
Bay Resort
Diego-Coronado Bay Bridge opened.)
It was part of the Siegmund Lubin
Studio empire. Lubin became America’s
first movie mogul in 1912. The German
immigrant to Philadelphia, was trained
as an ophthalmologist, but saw the film
industry as the future. He made mostly
single-reel films and built a chain of 13
movie house “nickelodeons” in which
to show his pictures. He purchased the
former estate of a Philadelphia brewer,
John F. Betz, and created “Betzwood”
20
films, plus the public’s desire for more
artistic storytelling. Just a year after his
expansion, Lubin went bankrupt, and
the studio closed.
Meanwhile, the Hotel del
Coronado, under Spreckels’ leadership,
thrived. It included a popular “Tent
City” just south of the Victorian hotel
that became a delightful summer
playground for visitors around the
world, offering fully furnished tent
accommodations, and a full schedule

of live entertainment, plus a carousel
and Ferris wheel.
Dozens or movies were made
at the Hotel del Coronado over the
years, including some of earliest short
documentaries produced in the 1890s
by the Edison Moving Picture Company,
In 1957 while making “Hellcats of
the Navy” at Naval Base Air Station
North Island, Ronald Reagan stayed at
The Del. He continued to visit the hotel
when he was Governor of California,
and later President.
And in 1958, the movie that tops
the American Film Institute’s ratings
for best comedy of all time, “Some
Like It Hot”, was filmed at Hotel del
Coronado, under the direction of Billy
Wilder and starring Marilyn Monroe,
Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon.
Today, the arts — visual,
performing, literary — thrive in
Coronado. Free Sunday evening
music concerts are held from late
May through September at the city’s
main park, Spreckels Park, Additional
concerts are held at the Ferry Landing,
with a full schedule of exhibits, piano
concerts and lectures at the Coronado
Public Library. Art-in-the-Park features
art for sale at Spreckels Park the first
and third Sundays of the month.
The city features two live theaters:
Lamb’s Players Theatre in the Spreckels
Building on Orange Avenue, built by
John Spreckels and his brother, Adolph,
in 1917, and the Coronado Playhouse,
part of the City of Coronado Civic
Center, opened in 2005.
Coronado School of the Arts was
founded in 1996; the school-within-aschool is a model for arts education
across the nation; it includes eight
conservatories, including one for
digital arts and filmmaking.
The Village
Theatre
The city’s Village Theatre was
restored to its Art Deco glory and
reopened in 2011, after a decadelong closure. Following an outcry by
citizens, the city spent $2.7 million from
its redevelopment agency funds to
renovate the structure.
Today tourists are welcomed not
only at the Grande Dame, the Hotel del
Coronado, but also to 14 other hotels
including Loews Coronado Bay Resort,
Coronado Island Marriott Resort & Spa
plus delightful boutique hotels and bed
and breakfasts. Still others might opt
to stay at the RV Park at Silver Strand
State Beach, where they may just see
Navy SEALs swimming out to the tip of
Point Loma from their training grounds
at the Naval Amphibious Base.
Coronado continues to combine
the best of the old — its architecture,
parks, bike-friendly avenues, small
town charm and friendliness — with
new technology. It was that way when
the Hotel del Coronado opened over
125 years ago and offered Thomas
Edison’s new electric lights in its
rooms, complete with instructions that
it wasn’t necessary to use a match.
The old and the new… in
Coronado the two worlds meld
together beautifully, to offer visitors
to the seaside island resort an
incomparable paradise.

Parties and Venues
Some of the brightest stars of the Coronado Island
Film Festival are the venues where movies will be
screened and parties will be held.
Hotel del Coronado
Hotel del Coronado — CIFF’s Presenting Sponsor — was built in 1888,
designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1977, and is an American
treasure. The Del’s visionary founders, Elisha Babcock and H.L. Story,
dreamed of building a seaside resort that would be “the talk of the Western
world.” Since then, the resort has become a living legend,
visited by celebrities, dignitaries and U.S. presidents.
Bonfire Movie on the Beach
On Monday night on the Del Beach
the hotel will host a showing of
“Some Like It Hot,” filmed inside the
hotel and on that very beach, back
in 1958. Honorary Jury President
Leonard Maltin will introduce the
film, and will present the Hollywood
Legacy Award to Chris Lemmon on
behalf of his father, Jack Lemmon.
Del Beach
Monday, 5 p.m.
The Village Theatre
The Village Theatre, at 820 Orange
Ave., was opened in 1947 as a
single screen theater that operated
through the year 2000, when the
theater’s Los Angeles-based owner
closed the building, which had
fallen into increasing disrepair over
the years. (Coronado residents were
well acquainted with the hole on
the screen, and selected their seats
carefully, as many of the chair’s
springs had sprung. There was also
no air conditioning.)
The 757-room hotel is the film festival’s base, with
several celebrities and film industry representatives
staying at the property.
The hotel’s historic Crown Room will be the site of:
CIFF’s Opening Night Reception
Friday 5–6:30 p.m.
Celebrity Tribute Reception (hosted by the hotel)
Saturday, 8–10 p.m.
Desserts; No-host bar
The Coronet Room will be the site of:
THE VIP Reception

PARTIES AND VENUES
The Village Theatre
Still, locals dearly missed having
a local movie house! A decade
without a movie theater “on this
side of the bridge” caused residents
to turn to their city government for
relief and resolution. The city was
able to secure funding through its
Community Development Agency
to remodel and restore the cinema
to its Art Deco glory, and reached
an agreement with a new operator,
Los Angeles-based historic theater
owner Lance Alspaugh. In June
2011, after a $2.7 million renovation,
Village Theatre reopened as a stateof-the-art, three-theatre complex:
the main theatre seats 215 and two
smaller auditoriums seat 45 each.
The late theater designer Joseph
Musil, who restored Hollywood’s
1926 El Capitan Theater, worked
on the Village Theatre design, but
died the year before the theater
opened. Crews took pains to see
26
that his designs were completed.
Hand-painted murals by famed
Disney animator Bill Anderson adorn
the walls of all three auditoriums,
all of which will be utilized for Film
Festival showings.
The Coronado Public Library
In the center of town, at 640 Orange
Avenue, stands one of the jewels in
Coronado’s crown. The Coronado
Library was built at its present site in
1909 on land donated by the city’s
Founding Father John Spreckels.
It has been expanded three times
since — in the 1930s, in 1973 and in
2005 — to its current 40,000 square
feet. The original 1,000-square -foot
neoclassical library still stands
opposite the main entrance and is
now the “Spreckels Reading Room.”
The Library’s Winn Room seats 115
people and features a Steinway

Look what’s going to Pop Up
around Coronado
Keep your eyes open Festival-goers!
An ensemble of Coronado School
of the Arts (CoSA) performing arts
students, led by Barbara Wolf,
Director of CoSA’s Musical Theatre
& Drama conservatory, will surprise
and amaze you by re-enacting
classic movie scenes on Saturday
January 16. All scenes will take
place along Orange Avenue.
Your mission, should you accept it,
is to put yourself in the scene
by taking a selfie with the actors,
then post it on the Coronado
Island Film Festival Facebook page
(and wherever else you want!). All
Facebook postings will be shown
on the big screen during the Awards
Night program. It’s like a scavenger hunt! (Need a
hint or two: Grease, Stars Wars,
Sunset Boulevard and West Side
Story...)
We’ll have a special prize for the
BEST SELFIE!
The students will receive a Hubbell
award from the Festival to be
displayed in the trophy case at
Coronado High School.
Filmed in Coronado!
The Coronado Public Library will
mount an exhibit in its Exhibit
Gallery that tells the story of more
than 100 years of filmmaking in
Coronado. Curated by Director of
Library Services Christian Esquevin,
the exhibit will run from January 8
through Monday February 29.
“Filmed in Coronado” tells the
story of how Coronado has been a
significant location for movie-making
since the silent-film era. The exhibit
will feature vintage and recent movie
posters, lobby-cards (small posters
that studios sent out to theatres to
post in their lobbies in the early years
of filmmaking), rare studio-issued
photos, and memorabilia.
Among the movies represented are
Rudolph Valentino’s first starring
role in 1918, “The Married Virgin;”
the first film featuring “Naval
Aviation; The Flying Fleet 1929;”
a movie
called
“Coronado,”
with Johnny
Downs; “The
Wings of
Eagles”
starring John
Wayne as
Coronado
resident Frank “Spig”
Wead; and many more.
The exhibit also features film stars
who called Coronado home —
Anita Page, Constance Cummings,
Johnny Downs, Merian C. Cooper
(creator of King Kong) and his
movie star wife Dorothy Jordan;
and Wende Wagner.
CoSA senior class students will star in “Pop Up” movie scenes on Orange Avenue.

This coffee
table book
takes readers
on a nostalgic
trip through Hollywood’s
Golden Era, and shares the behindthe-scenes life of one of its biggest
box-office stars, Errol Flynn.
The Indenture
Rory Flynn poured through shelves
of personal memorabilia and
private photographs, including
Errol’s love letters to her mother,
the former Nora Eddington, to
construct a full portrait of a man
who captured movie lovers’
hearts (and wallets) but who never
received a single Hollywood award.
Kirkus Reviews notes The Indenture
is “a well crafted testament to
the powers of resilience and
redemption.”
Why is the book titled The Baron
of Mulholland? Rory relates that
her father was fond of nicknames
for everyone, including himself,
and insisted upon being called
“Baron,” a moniker given to him
by Raoul Walsh who directed him
in a number of films, including his
all-time favorite, “Gentleman Jim.”
“Mulholland Farm” was Errol’s
eight-acre estate overlooking
Hollywood that he personally
designed that included a pool,
tennis court, horse rings and

concerns a family’s swift fall from
grace. Triggered by his parent’s
divorce, and hastened by the toxic
influences of addiction and greed,
a change to the family trust leaves

AWARDS
The Hubbell
More Awards!
Coronado Island Film Festival’s Award, “The Hubbell,” is
named after its sculptor, James Hubbell, who designed the
centerpiece sculpture/fountain “Sea Passage” that graces
Coronado’s Civic Center and Promenade Park.
But James Hubbell is much more than a sculptor
— he is an architect, painter, poet, mosaic artist and
humanitarian. His home and studio in Julian, California,
often the site of symposiums and open houses, embody
an organic architecture that, like all of his works, weave
nature and the “flow of a river” into their design.
The Hotel Del Coronado Narrative Film Awards
Artist’s notes on “Sea Passage” -When I first began to conceive of the design
I was thinking of the beach, the sea, light on the
water, the Pacific. And I considered the history of
Coronado, its Hotel del Coronado and the hotel’s
interesting physical relation to the sea: the sea
sits apart yet is so much a part of Coronado’s
world. And I considered what people brought
west, including Greek myths. It was these seeming
contradictions that were the beginning of the
Glorietta Bay Fountain. Stone, tile, water, light, the
sea and its world and the white marble column —
a sea column — reminiscent of the Chinese cloud
column, which has its still-forming figure of a sea
nymph.

The Garrett Scott
Documentary Film Awards
The Festival has named its
inaugural year documentary
awards the Garrett Scott
Documentary Film Awards,
honoring documentary filmmaker
Garrett Scott, who grew up in
Coronado and graduated from
Coronado High School, where he
excelled in water polo.
After earning a bachelors degree
in English literature from UC Santa
Barbara and a masters in the same
42
subject from the University of
Wisconsin — Milwaukee. Scott first
envisioned a career in academia.
But he discovered he wanted to
write about people and explore
issues that moved him and the art
of documentary filmmaking called
out to him. Without formal training
in cinematography, he began with
“Cul de Sac: A Suburban War Story”
delving into the background of a
Gulf War veteran who terrorized
a San Diego neighborhood by
stealing an Army tank and driving it
through a residential neighborhood
and onto state route 163. Cul
de Sac, co-directed by fellow
filmmaker Ian Olds, was screened
at the Toronto International Film
Festival in 2002; later that year
Scott was named one of the top 25
new faces in independent film by
Filmmaker Magazine.
that year by the Academy of Motion
Picture Arts and Sciences.
Just as his star was rising, Garrett
Scott’s life was cut short when he
died suddenly of a heart attack in
May 2006. Mr. Scott had planned
to attend the Independent Spirit
Awards the day after his death in
Santa Monica, where the 2005
film he made about U.S. soldiers
in Iraq, “Occupation: Dreamland,”
won the Truer than Fiction Award.
His co-director, Ian Olds, accepted
the $25,000 prize and dedicated it
to his late friend and colleague.
In 2003 Scott and Olds were
embedded twice with the Army’s
82nd Airborne Division in Fallujah,
Iraq. The resulting film “Occupation:
Dreamland” was a critic’s pick of
The New York Times and one of
15 documentaries selected for the
short list of contenders for a best
documentary feature nomination

A TWIST OF LEMMON
Chris Lemmon – Jack’s son – presents:
A Twist of Lemmon
“It’s magic time!”
Those were the words that actor Jack Lemmon uttered
just before every scene. And for everyone who ever
worked with the beloved movie star, it was indeed magic
time to work with him.
Jack’s son — actor, pianist and writer Chris Lemmon —
joins the Coronado Island Film Festival with his tribute to
his father, “A Twist of Lemmon,” also the title of his book
about his “Pop.”
Jack Lemmon was one of the most popular of Hollywood
stars, and part of his appeal, says Chris, is that he was reliable
— always doing his homework, knowing his lines, and putting other members of
the cast and crew at ease by being his affable “Everyman” self on the set.
Chris writes about “Some Like It Hot,“ where “…he and Tony Curtis formed
a kind of bond (I’m told cross-dressing will do that every time.) One story he
told about that film happened during (I believe) his and Tony’s screen test
for director Billy Wilder. Pop turned to Tony and challenged him to attempt
the acid test on whether or not their Daphne and Geraldine looks could
pass muster. Dragging a bewildered and apparently somewhat hesitant
Tony Curtis behind him, Pop led the way to the ladies’ room in the lobby
52
of the movie studio, where they
then sat and did their makeup for a
good half hour. Apparently nobody
batted an eye — except, of course,
Daphne and Geraldine.”
heartfelt: “This was a loved man,” he
writes. “A man who made the world
a little brighter for all around him,
and a man who is sorely missed, but
remembered with great joy.”
The first thing you need to know
about Chris Lemmon is that he’s
the spitting image of his dad, not
only in physical appearance, but
also in the “niceness” factor.
Chris tells of his dad and his own
shared loves of music, of Alaska
fishing trips and golf — particularly at
Pebble Beach and his dad’s popular
yet elusive search to make the cut on
the fourth round, a feat that Chris did
make once, much to his chagrin.
Chris Lemmon and
his family will be
with the Festival all
four days. He will
present “A Twist of
Lemmon” twice at
the Library’s Winn
Room (Saturday at
1 p.m. and Sunday
at 4 p.m.) and will
Chris Lemmon
introduce the showing of “Some
Like it Hot,” Monday at 5:00 p.m.
on Del Beach.
Chris’s “A Twist of Lemmon” tribute,

INDIA’S DAUGHTER
Opening Night Screening
63 minutes
THE FINEST HOURS
109 minutes
On February 18, 1952, a massive
nor’easter struck New England,
pummeling towns along the
Eastern seaboard and wreaking
havoc on the ships caught in its
deadly path, including the SS
Pendleton, a T-2 oil tanker bound
for Boston, which was literally
ripped in half, trapping more than
30 sailors inside its rapidly-sinking
stern. As the senior officer on
board, first assistant engineer Ray
Sybert (Casey Affleck) soon realizes
it is up to him to take charge of the
frightened crew and inspire the
men to set aside their differences
and work together to ride out one
of the worst storms to ever hit the
East Coast.
Meanwhile, as word of the disaster
reaches the U.S. Coast Guard
station in Chatham, Massachusetts,
Warrant Officer Daniel Cluff (Eric
Bana) orders a daring operation
to rescue the stranded men.
Despite overwhelming odds, four
men, led by Coast Guard Captain
Bernie Webber (Chris Pine), set
out in a wooden lifeboat with an
ill-equipped engine and little, if any,
means of navigation, facing frigid
temperatures, 60-foot high waves
and hurricane-force winds.

MARIE’S STORY
Sent to stay with her uncle in
Juneau, Alaska while her mother is
in treatment, 14-year-old Mackenzie
is forced to flee as her uncle’s
attention turns threatening. Unable
to reach her mother and afraid that
the authorities will return her to her
uncle, she embarks on a journey
across miles of wilderness to find a
way back home to Seattle. As she
plunges deeper into the Alaskan
interior, a chance connection with
gruff backpacker Bartlett proves
to be her only lifeline. Mackenzie
shadows Bartlett across the rugged
frontier, thwarting his efforts to cut
her loose until he has no choice but
to help her survive, and against the
backdrop of a spectacular landscape,
they discover the redemptive power
of friendship.
At the turn of the 19th century, a
humble artisan and his wife have a
daughter, Marie, who is born deaf and
blind and unable to communicate
with the world around her. Desperate
to find a connection to their daughter
and avoid sending her to an asylum,
the Heurtins send 14-year-old Marie
to the Larnay Institute in central
France, where an order of Catholic
nuns manage a school for deaf girls.
There, the idealistic Sister Marguerite
sees in Marie a unique potential,
and despite her Mother Superior’s
skepticism, vows to bring the wild
young thing out of the darkness into
which she was born. Based on true
events, “Marie’s Story” recounts
the courageous journey of a young
nun and the lives she would change
forever, confronting failures and
discouragement with joyous faith
and love.

DOCUMENTARIES
CIFF is pleased to welcome awardwinning documentary filmmaker
Laurens Grant to its inaugural
festival, and screen three of her
works that cover pivotal moments
in civil rights history.
After graduating from Medill School
of Journalism at Northwestern
University, Grant worked with news
organizations including an English
language newspaper in Mexico
City and headed Reuters’ Latin
American bureau.
IN HONOR OF MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.
THE BLACK PANTHERS:
VANGUARD OF THE
REVOLUTION
115 minutes
But soon she wanted to tell her
stories visually and entered
filmmaking as an assistant
producer on cable television
documentaries. While wrapping
up a production on Latin American
music, she received a call, asking
if she would like to produce
“Freedom Riders,” which she did,
receiving three Emmy Awards and a
Peabody Award.
All power to the people! Change was
coming to America and the fault lines
could no longer be ignored — cities
were burning, Vietnam was exploding
and disputes raged over equality
and civil rights. The Black Panthers:
Vanguard of the Revolution is the
first feature length documentary to
explore the Blank Panther Party, its
significance to the broader American
culture, its cultural and political
awakening for black people and
the painful lessons wrought when
a movement derails. Rare archival
footage is woven with the voices
of people who were there: police,
FBI informants, journalists, white
supporters and detractors, and Black
Panthers who remained loyal to the
party and those who left it.

JESSE OWENS
53 minutes
The most famous athlete of his
time, Jesse Owens’ stunning
triumph at the 1936 Olympic games
captivated the world even as it
infuriated the Nazis. Despite the
racial slurs he endured, Owens’
grace and athleticism rallied
crowds across the globe. But
when the four-time Olympic gold
medalist returned home, he could
not even ride in the front of a bus.
The story of the 22-year-old son
of a sharecropper who triumphed
over advertising to become a hero
and world champion, Jesse Owens
is about the elusive, fleeting quality
of fame and the way Americans
idolize athletes when they suit our
purpose and forget them once
they don’t.

FREEDOM RIDERS
117 minutes
Freedom Riders is the powerful,
harrowing and ultimately
inspirational story of six months in
1961 that changed America forever.
From May until November 1961,
more than 400 black and white
Americans risked their lives — and
many endured savage beatings
and imprisonment — for simply
traveling together on buses and
trains as they journeyed through
the Deep South. Deliberately
violating Jim Crow laws, the
Freedom Riders met with bitter
racism and mob violence along
the way, sorely testing their belief
in nonviolent activism.

LUTAH explores the life of a
remarkably versatile architect who
left an impressive legacy. Initially
eclipsed by her male contemporaries
in the early 20th century, Lutah Maria
Riggs navigated her way through the

established architectural styles of
Southern California.
Riggs blazed a trail for women,
relying on the courage of her

WE SERVED TOO: THE STORY
OF THE WOMEN’S AIR FORCE
SERVICE PILOTS OF WWII
56 minutes
They were the first women pilots
to ever fly for the U. S. military.
However, after a nasty and
aggressive campaign by male pilots
who wanted the WASP jobs during
the war, they were the only wartime
unit that was denied military status
by Congress and were sent home
before the war was over and their
job was done. Not until the 1970s
were the women recognized as
World War II veterans, and not
until 2010 did the U.S. government
recognize those women who died
during their service and allow
the surviving WASP to receive the
Congressional Gold Medal.

MEET THE PATELS
WAMPLER’S ASCENT
“Meet the Patels” is a laugh-outloud real life romantic comedy
about Ravi Patel, an almost-30year-old Indian-American who
enters a love triangle between
the woman of his dreams … and
his parents. Filmed by Ravi’s
sister in what started as a family
vacation video, this hilarious and
heartbreaking film reveals how love
is a family affair.
“Wampler’s Ascent” is the story of
Steve Wampler’s legendary climb up
the biggest rock face in the world,
El Capitân in Yosemite National
Park. Wampler is a husband and
father of two who has a severe
form of cerebral palsy, allowing
the complete use of only one limb,
his right arm. Normally, he uses an
electric wheelchair, but in his climb
he is attached to a harness and uses
a pull chain to hoist himself up, inch
by inch. His upward trek required
20,000 pull-ups, six days of climbing
and five nights of sleeping on the side
of the mountain. Through sheer will
and strength of character, Wampler,
increasingly exhausted after days
of climbing, overcomes panic and
terror. The result is an inspirational
story sure to leave the viewer
energized, optimistic and heartened.

Award Honoree
Composer Lee Holdridge is the first
recipient of Coronado Island Film
Festival’s “Reel Music” award.
One of Hollywood’s most honored
composers, Lee Holdridge has lent
his talents to countless feature

he moved to Boston to study
composition with the noted teacher

CLASSICS
SALUTE TO JOHNNY DOWNS
THE STUNT MAN
131 minutes
This 1980 classic centers on
Cameron (Steven Railsback), a
fugitive who stumbles upon a
movie set, just when they need a
new stunt man. He takes the job as
a way to hide out and falls for the
leading lady (Barbara Hershey).
“The Stunt Man” was a three-time
Oscar nominee (Peter O’Toole,
portraying the movie director Eli
Cross, was nominated as Best Actor
and Rush received nominations for
both Best Director and screenplay.)
It also was nominated for six Golden
Globes, winning for best score.
And it has developed a cult-like
following of those who have viewed
the film more than once of twice,
discovering complex multi-layers.
The Stunt Man’s “movie within
the movie” is a World War I epic
ostensibly filmed in the skies over
England. While Rush felt the Hotel
del Coronado was a “dream”
location, he almost passed on
76
the famed property, due to its
abundance of palm trees and
tropical landscaping. “Not very
British,” said Rush. “But then I had
a revelation: The palms weren’t my
problem — they were O ’Toole’s
problem.” Rush still laughs
uproariously over the conundrum.
Richard Rush, raised in Los Angeles
where he still lives today, attributes
his time in the Air Force just after
graduation from UCLA’s film school
as his true training ground in film,
where he made training films for
the service, and led the Air Force’s
first foray into television.
Prior to “The Stunt Man,” Rush’s
most notable movies were “Getting
Straight” with Elliott Gould and
Candice Bergen and “Freebie and
the Bean” with Alan Arkin and
James Caan. But “The Stunt Man”
was by his own evaluation, Rush’s
greatest achievement.

In his lifetime, Errol Flynn received

Rory Flynn. He never attended a

him too well?
In 2006 Rory authored a coffeetable book, The Baron of
Mulholland: Daughter Remembers
Errol Flynn. In that book and in her
presentation, Rory shares details of
life with her father and the “Golden
Age of Hollywood” in which he
reigned supreme at the box office,

Rory will be joined by her son,
Sean Flynn, a successful film and

In his short but tumultuous life — he
died at age 50 of a heart attack —
Flynn made 53 films, most of them
for Jack Warner at Warner Brothers,
who first cast him in “Captain Blood.”

NEFERTITI’S DAUGHTERS (39:00 )
A story of women, art and
revolution, this vibrant film
documents the critical role that
revolutionary street art played
— and continues to play — in the
political uprising of Egypt.
PEBBLES AT YOUR DOOR (18:48)
Harmonia lived a happy life among
the North Korea elite, but faces a
choice of living in a broken paradise
of lies and deception or treading
the unknown lonely path of the real
world outside.
THE TOUR GUIDE (27:00)
Nrit Ben Joseph is an Israeli who
has been living in Berlin for 26
years and works as a historical tour
guide for the city, with most of his
audience being Israeli citizens who
visit Berlin to explore the dark past
of Jewish-German history. The film
delves into questions of national,
religious and personal identity in
today’s multicultural world.
TRIPLES/TRILLIZOS (15:00)
Lorenzo, Leonel and Luis are
16-year-old triplets who, from
birth, have shared everything —
home, physical characteristics,
educational aspirations and
creative activities. Living with their
parents and two older brothers in
a small but tidy two-room house in
Tijuana, Mexico, theirs is a story of
rare genetic circumstances that is
formed with discipline and resolve.
Spanish, with English subtitles
THE TESTIMONY (28:00)
In 1991, a 9-year-old girl has to
testify in a domestic abuse court
