The Sheik and The Shriek of Araby, A Film History of Hollywood-By-The-Sea with historian Richard Senate
September 20, 2017 6:30pm
The Channel Islands Maritime Museum presents “The Sheik and The Shriek of Araby, A Film History of Hollywood-By-The-Sea”, with writer and local historian Richard Senate. For 22 years Senate worked as historian and historical interpreter for the city of Ventura. He has studied film history and films made in Ventura County and that includes “The Sheik”, a low budget film with, a hard to work with actor, Rudolph Valentino. It proved to be a hit! It was made in the sand dunes of Hollywood by the Sea in Channel Islands Harbor (before it had that name). The locale was used in several other films as well, including the parody made by Mack Sennett "The Shriek of Araby" with the Ben Turpin playing the Valentino role. Real estate developers changed the place and the movie companies found other locations.
Speaker Series is a lecture series held every third Wednesday at the Channel Islands Maritime Museum. 3900 Bluefin Circle, Oxnard. Refreshments are served at 6:30 pm and the lecture begins at 7:00 pm. Entry is free with membership, $7 for non-members, $5 for seniors.

(Ojai, CA | 9/23/2017) – Mountainfilm on Tour brings a selection of culturally rich, adventure-packed and incredibly inspiring documentary films curated from the Mountainfilm festival held every Memorial Day weekend in Telluride, Colorado. On Saturday, September 23, the Ojai Valley Land Conservancy is teaming up with Mountainfilm on Tour to bring the original films and the experience of the annual festival in Telluride to Ojai with films that will explore the themes connected to Mountainfilm’s mission: using the power of film, art and ideas to inspire audiences to create a better world.
A Mountainfilm presenter will guide the audience through the program providing insight on the films, filmmakers and subjects. The complete playlist can be found at ovlc.org/events. To learn more and join the conversation, visit mountainfilm.org or ovlc.org.
Gates open off at 5 pm with live music performed by Vaughn Montgomery and the Chills and food from food trucks (Scratch, Rice Balls of Fire, Middle Feast, Okamato Kitchen, Deer X-ing, Me Gusta Tamales, SoCal Comfort Food, Mr. Softee, and Bollywood Bowl). Guayaki will be sampling organic yerba mate, and a beer garden, hosted by Topa Topa Brewing, will be available until the movies begin, promptly, at 7:15 pm.
The event takes place on the Ojai Valley School’s sports field (723 El Paseo Rd). Attendees are encouraged to bring blankets or folding chairs. No pets allowed. Overflow parking will be available in the field across the street, courtesy of the Ojai Valley Inn.
Tickets can be purchased online at ovlc.org/events. The cost is $18 per adult for current Ojai Valley Land Conservancy members, $22 for non-members, and $10 per child under 12. Tickets will also be available at the door on the day of the event for $25. Proceeds go to benefit the Ojai Valley Land Conservancy, a community-based non-profit organization working with partners to permanently protect open space in the Ojai Valley.
