Angel Island Movie Night: ‘Coco’

Happy Monday, Latitude Nation. Here in the Bay Area, we’re already making plans for next weekend. This coming Saturday, July 21, Angel Island will be hosting movie night, showing the Disney/Pixar feature Coco.

"The evening will include music, games and more! Movie starts at sundown," the Angel Island Conservancy said. There will be Mexican food for purchase, as well as beer, wine and beverages. Organizers recommend bringing layers, as well as a flashlight to get back to the ferry. As many Bay Area sailors know, Ayala Cove has one of the largest public docks and moorings on the Bay, with 19 slips and 27 buoys available on a fist come, first serve basis for a $15 day use, and a $30 overnight fee.

"Coco is a definitive movie for this moment: an image of all the things that we aren’t, an exploration of values that feel increasingly difficult to practice in the actual world," wrote Jia Tolentino in the New Yorker. "It’s a story of a multigenerational matriarchy, rooted in the past. Coco is a movie about borders more than anything — the beauty in their porousness. The conflict in the story comes from not being able to cross over; the resolution is that love pulls you through to the other side."
