Our 2026 Summer Series program is here! Our screenings with special guests are meant to be shared outdoors, with our Ojai Valley community, for FREE at the iconic Libbey Bowl.

This year’s Wild is the Night lineup brings together stories of discovery, connection, and the unexpected—from wild adventures and larger-than-life journeys to moments of transformation that change us forever. Across each film, we’re reminded that when we step beyond the familiar and into the unknown, we open ourselves to wonder, possibility, and the kind of magic that can only be found after dark.

For the 150 of you who joined us for our annual fundraiser and special screening on May 22nd, thank you for helping us kick off this exciting season. The season starts Thursday, July 2. You can RSVP for FREE via the link in our bio. See you at the movies!
