Focus on Film

Santa Barbara filmmaker Lee Abbott’s documentary Disaster at Devil’s Jaw explores the 100-year-old disaster when seven speeding U.S. Navy destroyers crashed into the ragged coastline at Honda Point. Abbott does the discussion/Q&A thing about the largest peacetime disaster in naval history after the film screens at Santa Barbara Maritime Museum on September 21…. 

Citizen McCaw, the local 2008 doc chronicling the events that eventually led to this summer’s death of the once beloved Santa Barbara News-Press, gets a timely re-screening at the Marjorie Luke Theatre on September 27, followed by a panel discussion.
