A River Runs Through It
An Evening with Tom Skerritt and Friends.
Lobero Theatre This event is a rental, not a Lobero presentation.
An authoritative panel including Tom Skerritt, lead in the film, and viewpoints representing the arts, conservation, fly-fishing, and indigenous perspectives, followed by a one-time screening.
Panelists scheduled to appear include:
- Tom Skerrit. Actor. Conservationist. River advocate.
- Eric Ladd. American Rivers Board. Chairman, Outlaw Partners.
- John Maclean, Journalist and author, son of author Norman Mclean.
- Kayeloni Scott. Tribal member and Nez Perce descendant.
- Chris Wood. President & CEO of Trout Unlimited.
Since its release more than 30 years ago, no film has impacted fly-fishing and the rivers and streams essential to the sport more than Robert Redford’s cinematic adaption of Norman Maclean’s “A River Runs Through it”. Santa Barbara Flyfishers will host a panel to explore the direct and indirect impacts this landmark film has had on our precious waters and rivers and the people that fish them.
“A River Runs Through It” elevated fly-fishing from a quiet, regional pastime to a national and international movement. It reshaped the business, aesthetic and emotional identity of the sport, bringing in new people, new money and new meaning.
As Norman Maclean wrote…”Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it.”
There will also be a VIP “First Look” Reception before the panel discussion to meet the panelists and have a private viewing of footage from a new Rivers Project Tom Skerritt is developing. Reception requires a ticket.
All donations go to Santa Barbara Flyfishers to support the initiatives for conservation and education, including the generational program to “Save Santa Barbara Steelhead.”
