Special Screenings of Award Winning Documentary 'Walking the Camino'

In partnership with Cinepolis Luxury Cinemas La Costa, the La Costa Film Festival is thrilled to announce a limited return engagement of the award winning documentary Walking the Camino: Six Ways to Santiago, with a screening on March 2nd, and 3rd.

On Sunday, March 2nd, Lydia B. Smith, the Producer/Director of the film will be present for a Special Pre-Screening reception, hosted by the Cinepolis Luxury Cinemas, and featuring a variety of gourmet appetizers and selected fine wines. She will also be available after the screening for a Q & A session. The film will also be shown on Monday, March 3rd, but as a screening only. 

The film features the stories of six modern-day pilgrims who range from 3 to 73 years of age as they walk the historic 500-mile journey along Spain’s 1200-year-old Camino de Santiago trail. Film viewers are able to experience a journey into the hearts and minds of the travelers as they cope with blisters, exhaustion, loneliness and self-doubt. The film presents universal themes through personal stories for those seeking to redefine the way they live, or deepen their relationship with others, and to rediscover the true meaning of their connection with the world.
