We are delighted to host a film again for the Pickford Film Center’s Doctober documentary extravaganza! We love this opportunity to support film, community and good storytelling all at the same time! Come watch this beautiful film of one athlete's spiritual journey to find balance in the waves and on the mountains.

So please join us for one of two showings of The Ying and Yang of Gerry Lopez on

Sun, Oct 9 7:00pm or Thu, Oct 13 5:05pm

Gerry Lopez, aka Mr. Pipeline, is one of surfing’s most enigmatic heroes—a Zen Buddhist and yoga practitioner on land who built his early career on aggressive surfing. Yin and Yang follows one of the most influential surfers and surfboard shapers of all time as he brings surfing to new frontiers while pursuing stillness of body and mind.

Each October the Pickford showcases Doctober—a month-long documentary film festival dedicated to one of Bellingham’s proven favorite genres, the documentary. Doctober is the largest documentary festival in the Northwest, screening over 50 films in one month. For this festival the Pickford partners with local groups and organizations to bring important issues to the screen; many presentations feature special guests, filmmakers, pre-screening receptions, and guided group discussions. This year, the festival starts September 30th and runs through November 3rd.
