Doors open at 5:30 p.m. The evening's films include:
6:00 p.m. - VOLCANOES OF THE DEEP SEA
Volcanoes of the Deep Sea reveals the astounding sights that lie 12,000 feet below the surface of the ocean, while delivering a real-life tale of mystery as scientists search for an animal that may be one of Earth's greatest survivors—an ancient species that is decorating the deep sea floor with its strange hexagonal trademark.
7:00 p.m. - FIGHTER PILOT
Fighter Pilot focuses on the experience of a fighter pilot (Captain John Stratton) participating in Red Flag, a demanding, high-tech air combat exercise that prepares U.S. and Allied pilots for the realities of war. The film takes audiences behind-the-scenes of the Red Flag exercise, follows an Air Force training mission over the Nevada desert and reveals the special teamwork that allows pilots to succeed and survive under pressure.
8:00 p.m. - BEAVERS
Beavers explores the life and rich aquatic habitat of one of nature's greatest engineers. Set in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, the film follows the story of a family of beavers as they grow, play and transform the world around them.
9:00 p.m. - SUPER SPEEDWAY
Buckle up. Super Speedway delves into the death-defying drama of Indy car racing and weaves together the stories of some of the masters of the high-speed track. Super Speedway puts audiences in the cockpit of an Indy car and catapults them into world championship auto racing action at mind-bending speeds in excess of 230 miles per hour.
