WOODS HOLE FILM FESTIVAL (WHFF)

October 19 @ 7:00 pm

The WHFF “Dinner & A Movie” series continues on Saturday, October 19 with the feature documentary 76 Days Adrift by director Joe Wein. From Executive Producer Ang Lee (Life of Pi) 76 Days Adrift is a profoundly immersive documentary that plunges the viewer into the heart of one man’s extraordinary survival story. Steven Callahan, the author of the New York Times bestseller Adrift: 76 Days Lost at Sea, recounts the night of February 4, 1982, when a catastrophic collision with a whale left his boat sinking in the dead of night. With the Atlantic Ocean surging into his vessel, Steven had only moments to grab what he could before launching himself into the dark, unforgiving sea in a life raft, clutching a basic emergency kit. For an astonishing 76 days, that fragile inflatable raft became Steven’s entire world as he drifted helplessly across the vast expanse of the Atlantic. Forced to confront his deepest fears, limitations, and the raw power of nature, he discovered an inner strength he never knew he possessed. “Dinner & A Movie” is a program of the Winter/Spring Film Series, twice-monthly in-person screenings of independent film from October 2024 through June 2025. The screenings will be held in the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s Redfield Auditorium, located at 45 Water Street, Woods Hole. The film begins at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $16, $12 for members and $10 student/military $10. Tickets are on sale in advance at www.woodsholefilmfestival.org and at the door if they are not sold out in advance. Before the screening, ticketholders may receive a discount on the meal portion of dinner at the Captain Kidd Restaurant and Bar, 77 Water Street, Woods Hole and Quahog Republic Leeside Pub, 29 Railroad Ave, Woods Hole. The festival is supported in part by grants from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, the Arts Foundation of Cape Cod, the Woods Hole Foundation, the Falmouth Fund of the Cape Cod Foundation and the Martha’s Vineyard Bank Charitable Foundation and Cape Cod 5.
