- Jenny Lawson (Let’s Pretend This Never Happened: A Mostly True Memoir) at Elliott Bay Books 8P
- SPLINTERS (last screenings! 7P – 9P) at Northwest Film Forum
Praised by ESPN for “reviving the surf film genre,” Splinters combines great on-wave action with high drama. In the 1980s, a pilot left behind a surfboard in remote Papua New Guinea. Twenty years later, surfing is splintering the community. As culture clash engulfs their village, four local surfers compete in the country’s first-ever national surfing title in the hopes of a better life.
