The Boy Who Talks To Whales Screening
2026-03-07 16:00 - 17:30
Celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Whale Festival with a viewing of the 1975 classic film, The Boy Who Talks to Whales. Barry Cusick, one of the Whale War founders, will introduce the film which was released during the height of 1970s environmental activism. The film follows 15-year-old Andy and his Uncle Will as they embark on an arduous search for Gigi, a gray whale they believe communicates with humans. Uncle Will is played by local activist Byrd Baker, whose real-life crusade to “Save God’s Whales” helped spark the anti-whaling movement on the Mendocino Coast, and who is featured as part of the Whale War exhibit at the Kelley House Museum throughout March. Filmed over 50 years ago, The Boy Who Talks to Whales serves as a vivid visual archive of Mendocino, and many viewers will enjoy the “then and now” look at the town and coastline. Seating is limited so advance purchase is recommended.
