Program Description

Event Details

Daytime Docs is a monthly film series featuring documentaries that bring awareness to diverse perspectives and life experiences through the power of visual storytelling. 

This month's screening will be Dogtown and Z-boys. With Go Skateboarding Day just around the corner (June 21st), we’re celebrating the 25th anniversary of an all-time classic.. This award-winning, thrilling story is about a group of discarded kids who revolutionized skateboarding and shaped the attitude and culture of modern-day extreme sports. Featuring old skool skating footage, exclusive interviews and a blistering rock soundtrack, this film captures the rise of the Zephyr skateboarding team from Venice’s Dogtown, a tough “locals only” beach with a legacy of outlaw surfing.

Viewers are encouraged to stay after the screening to discuss the film. Then browse our Sights & Sounds collection to take home a few documentaries and films until our next screening!
