SUMMARY:CIFF Student Classic Film: "Lifeboat" (1944)
DESCRIPTION:The Coronado Island Film Festival’s 2025 Student Classic Film Series presents Alfred Hitchcock’s “LIFEBOAT” on Sunday\, March 30. The event begins at 1 pm and concludes at 3:45 pm and will be held in the Winn Room of the Coronado Public Library. \n \n\nThe 2025 “War That Shaped Our World” CIFF Student Classic Film Series will honor the 80th Anniversary of the end of WWII by screening legendary director Alfred Hitchcock’s 1944 classic\, “Lifeboat.” \nFeaturing an outstanding ensemble cast\, including Tallulah Bankhead\, John Hodiak\, William Bendix and Hume Cronin\, “Lifeboat” is particularly noteworthy in Hitchcock’s filmography as the first example of the director challenging himself to tell a compelling story cinematically in a purposefully limited setting. The story is told entirely on and around a 36-foot lifeboat adrift at sea. In it\, seven American and British survivors of a ship torpedoed and sunk\, and a lone German survivor from the U-boat that was sunk while shelling their ship\, struggle against the sea\, the elements and one another\, to stay alive in hope of rescue. \nHitchcock\, Hollywood’s “Master of Suspense\,” known for his gripping “edge of your seat” thrillers\, was the creative force behind more than 50 feature films. “Lifeboat” not only limited its setting but is distinctive in being one of a very few Hitchcock and Hollywood films lacking any musical score. Loosely based on a short story by celebrated author John Steinbeck\, “Lifeboat’s” dramatic narrative examines themes of authority\, leadership\, political culture\, honesty\, morality\, and justice. Playing to audience emotion by cleverly manipulating cinematic limits\, Hitchcock creates a tense\, complex saga that is today recognized as both a magnificent dramatic and technical achievement. Lifeboat’s story demands both the characters and the audience confront difficult questions for which there are no easy answers. What may be required to fight and win a war? Must we become that which we condemn to do so?” \nWhile most movie lovers are familiar with at least a few of Hitchcock’s more well-known movies\, “Lifeboat” is a far too often overlooked classic. Any movie lover interested in the art of cinematic storytelling\, the craft of filmmaking\, and significant milestones in movie history won’t want to miss this unique opportunity to screen this groundbreaking Alfred Hitchcock classic! \nThe complete 2025 Student Classic schedule and reservations are available on the CIFF website under the “Year-Round” dropdown tab. All Student Classic Film screenings are free.

SUMMARY:CIFF Student Classic Film: "Twelve O'Clock High"
DESCRIPTION:“Stop making plans. Forget about going home. Consider yourselves already dead. Once you accept that idea\, it won’t be so tough\,” thus speaks Gregory Peck as Brigadier General Frank Savage to the men of 918th Bomb Group in 12 O’Clock High\, the definitive dramatic film account of the American strategic bombing campaign in Europe during WWII. \n \nThe CIFF Student Classic Film Series continues with director Henry King’s 1949 classic\, 12 O’Clock High. Starring Best Actor Oscar nominee Gregory Peck and featuring a Best Supporting Actor Oscar winning performance by Dean Jagger\, 12 O’Clock High is significant as the first Hollywood feature after the war that took up the challenge of realistically showing the terrors of air combat. Before its release\, few Americans understood the mental and emotional toll the strategic bombing campaign levied upon the aircrew who flew the missions and the enormous psychological burdens leadership imposed upon the men guiding their heroic efforts. \nBased on the novel by co-authors Beirne Lay\, Jr.\, and Sy Bartlett\, 12 O’Clock High is the fictionalized account of their own experiences as Army Air Force officers in one of the first B-17 units sent to England to conduct an entirely new approach to air warfare. While still finishing their novel\, the authors pitched 12 O’Clock High to Hollywood movie studios. Twentieth Century Fox’s Darryl F. Zanuck bought their story in 1948 for $100\,000\, a princely sum at the time. The use of actual footage taken by Allied and Luftwaffe aerial combat cameras lends unprecedented wartime authenticity to a film seldom equaled in the history of motion pictures. The film rightly earned the praise of those whose heroic exploits it recounts. 12 O’Clock High is a must-see to understand the history of American air warfare and the extraordinary challenges of leading aviators and airmen in combat. It stands alone as the only motion picture ever used concurrently for leadership training in both military officer programs and the Harvard Business School. \nThe complete 2025 Student Classic schedule and reservations are available on the CIFF Website under the “Year-Round” dropdown tab. All Student Classic Film screenings are free.

SUMMARY:CIFF Student Classic Film: “The Great Escape" (1963)
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday April 27 at 1 pm\, the 2025 “War That Shaped Our World” CIFF Student Classic Film Series continues with director John Sturges’ 1963 classic\, The Great Escape. Featuring an all-star ensemble cast and a memorably iconic score by Elmer Bernstein\, The Great Escape is notable as actor Steve McQueen’s breakout lead role as “cooler king\,” Captain Virgil Hilts. It is no coincidence that McQueen later went on to become known by movie insiders as “the King of Cool.” \n \nDirector John Sturges’ war thriller is today recognized as a masterpiece of the POW and action genres. It is based on a 1950 book of the same name by Australian Paul Brickhill\, who was part of the March 1944 mass escape from the Nazi POW compound\, Stalag Luft III. While the film has its critics as a clichéd chronicle of the escape\, it stands as a testament to the daring and ingenuity of British and Allied aviators and aircrew who labored for almost a year to devise and execute an audacious plan to flee captivity and tie up Nazi troops trying to track them down. It stands today as a memorial to the 50 POWs executed in the aftermath of the breakout. As Charles Clarke\, an RAF Officer shot down and interned at Stalag Luft III succinctly put it\, “Without the film\, who would remember what a magnificent achievement it was?” \nThe opening of the film informs the audience\, “This is a true story. Although the characters are composites of real men\, and time and place have been compressed\, every detail of the escape is the way it really happened.” Movie lovers won’t want to miss this opportunity to screen this most enduring of WWII themed action classics. \nThe screening is FREE and open to the public. \nThe complete 2025 Student Classic schedule and reservations are available on the CIFF website under the “Year-Round” dropdown tab. \n

SUMMARY:CoSA Visual Arts Showcases "Centered" - A Special Exhibit at C3 Gallery
DESCRIPTION:The Coronado School of the Arts (CoSA) Visual Arts conservatory is set to enchant guests with the exhibit “Centered” at C3 Gallery at 1845 Strand Way on Tuesday\, April 29 from 5:30 to 7pm. More than 125 pieces from all students will be on display\, including 3D art. The exhibit also features a 2025 Senior Showcase called “Flashback.” \n“The seniors like the ‘Flashback’ theme because they can look through the work they have produced over the last four years and choose works they prefer\,” said Karrie Jackson\, Visual Arts Conservatory Chair. “Their work has really evolved to showcase more advanced technical skill and portraits.” \nThe opening reception will be held in the Nautilus Room\, and the event is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided. \nFor graduating seniors like Ben Byars\, the exhibit is a chance to showcase art that has grown and developed over the years. \n“Of all the subjects I’ve painted and drawn\, portraits have been my favorite\,” said Byars. “This year has led to some of my favorite stylistic and compositional experimentation with portraiture\, and I hope to continue with it going forward.” \nAs conservatory chair\, Jackson is excited that CoSA Visual Arts has expanded this year to accommodate growing interest after running a waitlist for more than ten years. \n“I’m so grateful we can make room for more enthusiastic and skilled student artists\,” said Jackson. “I personally believe creativity should be cultivated and not competitive\, so I am happy more students have the space and the community to cultivate their interest.”

SUMMARY:CIFF Student Classic Film: "The Search"
DESCRIPTION:“The Search” – A Mother’s Day Story of the Indomitable Love of a Mother Determined to Find Her Lost Son \n \nSunday\, May 11 at 1 PM\, the 2025 “War That Shaped Our World” CIFF Student Classic Film Series continues with director Fred Zinneman’s “The Search\,” the story of “The Lost Children of Europe.” “The Search” features the Oscar nominated first feature film appearance of Montgomery Clift and a Special Juvenile Academy Award winning performance by nine-year old Ivan Jandl. The Search is also noteworthy as American immigrant\, Austrian-born Jewish director Fred Zinnemann’s first box office success and as perhaps the first Hollywood feature film dramatizing the consequences of The Holocaust. \nFollowing the War\, orphaned children are moved to a United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation camp in Germany. During an interview to determine his identity a young boy named Karel\, separated from his mother at Auschwitz\, is only able to say in broken German: “I don’t know.” While being transported to a second camp\, some children panic. Karel and another boy escape by jumping in a river. As Karel’s companion drowns\, Karel reaches the riverbank\, but when only a hat is recovered UN officials presume he has drowned. Simultaneously\, the audience learns his mother\, Hanna\, has survived the death camps and is searching for her son. While hiding in the city’s ruins Karel encounters an American soldier\, “Steve” Stevenson (Montgomery Clift) who becomes determined to help the boy. Convinced his relatives are dead\, Stevenson works on a plan to take Karel to the U.S. when his tour of duty ends in hopes of adopting him. The dramatic narrative intensifies as circumstances conspire with a mother’s indomitable love to resolve the drama: Will these two Holocaust survivors be reunited as mother and son? \n \nDirector Fred Zinnemann lost both parents to the Holocaust. In this documentary-style post-war feature\, he creates a realistic cinematic account to dramatize the real-world plight of hundreds of thousands of orphaned children struggling to survive and the compassionate people working to help redeem their post-war lives. Nominated for three Oscars in 1948 including Best Best Director for Zinnemann\, “The Search” is a movie you will never forget. \nThe complete 2025 Student Classic schedule and reservations are available on the CIFF website under the “Year-Round” dropdown tab. The screening is free and open to the public.
