The Ultimate Wave Tahiti (11:00 am)
General audience

Starring world surfing champion and Florida native, Kelly Slater, this film has everything you could want from a giant screen film. Set on the picture-perfect beaches of Tahiti, the film follows Slater as he seeks out the perfect wave-riding experience. Kelly, alongside famed Tahitian surfer Raimana Van Bastolaer, settles on the surf site, Teahupo’o for his quest.

 

The film looks at surfing from through two perspectives – Kelly, who sees surfing as a competitive sport and Raimana, who views it as an ancient Polynesian art form. Using an expert combination of live action and animation, the film explores the hidden forces at work shaping the waves, the sources of a wave’s energy; as well as the atmospheric conditions that shape a wave’s long journey across thousands of miles of open Pacific. No ocean film is complete without a look at a region’s sea life and The Ultimate Wave Tahiti doesn’t disappoint, showcasing turtles, fish and sharks.

Animalopolis (11:00 am)
General audience
Animalopolis will take you on a voyage into the magical world of animals. A bit fanciful, a bit "Seussian" perhaps, a place of good natured humor, beauty and just plain fun for kids and their parents.

Animalopolis takes a lighthearted and imaginary look at a variety of animals including cheetahs that race like a Ferrari, bears that run their own fishing school, an operatic lion, sea lions turning somersaults, and much more.

With twelve hilarious segments, each featuring a different animal, Animalopolis will stimulate children's imaginations and curiosity about the creatures they're seeing, and remind us that nature provides humor and wonder, everywhere.
