Free Outdoor Screening of Astronaut Documentary Launches 8th Annual Ojai Film Festival



On October 4 get up close and personal with the only human beings to have stood on another world Ron Howard Presents IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON brings together surviving crew members from every single Apollo mission that flew to the moon, and allows them to tell their story in their own words. This amazing documentary will be a free screening at the Libbey Bowl, an outdoor amphitheater, in Ojai, on Thursday October 4, 7:30 p.m., to open the 8th annual Ojai Film Festival (Oct. 4-7).

A rousing celebration of human endeavor, IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON is the ultimate adventure film. A definitive depiction of America's exploration of space, it chronicles the history of the Apollo program, presenting a richly detailed and vivid re-creation of man's first-ever lunar landing. Gathering for the first -- and possibly last -- time, the surviving crew members of every manned moon mission, the film allows these heroes to tell their story in their own words, and thrillingly illustrates their first-hand testimony with a treasure trove of footage, much of which has never before been seen in a feature film. The result is an intimate epic that distills all the danger, daring, promise and pride of an extraordinary era when the whole world literally looked up to America.

Leonard Maltin of Entertainment Tonight exclaims, "Indescribably moving. One of the best films of the Year! Don't miss it". David Ansen of Newsweek writes, "Astonishing! Stirring!" And John Schwartz of The New York Times calls it "Exceptional!"
