Installation open Saturdays, 1–5 pm, Nov 21 – Dec 19

Santa Cruz Guerilla Drive-In

Report back: On Friday, we attempted to show Wolfwalkers downtown in a parking lot, projecting on the back of the multiplex.

We worked with a downtown business owner who rents the parking lot for use as a staff parking lot. He thought it would be fun to support Guerilla Drive-In by inviting us to use the space. We were all under the impression that we were allowed to be there. We usually just show up and joyfully reclaim public space, but in this case we thought we had permission, so it made sense to have a family screening with a kid-friendly movie. Our biggest concern was logistics around light pollution.

Though our partner in the showing rents the lot, the actual owner of the lot was not happy with the gathering of about 50, including families with kids. Halfway through, the police showed up citing the owner’s concern about liability. Workers at the supportive business insisted that since they pay rent there, and they invited us, we should be allowed to stay and finish the movie, but the cops sided with the owner and shut us down, inviting boos and some tears from members of the audience.

The timing was unfortunate and ironic, as we were at the climax of the movie. The “Lord Protector”, the ruler of the town of Kilkenny, has trapped and chained the magical wolfwalker, parading her around to show off his power over her. Young Mebh fights back to free her fellow wolfwalker, but she is outnumbered and faces a powerfully armed troop of guardsmen.

What will happen?

If you are excited to find out, please join us on Friday October 2 at 7:30, under the Soquel Avenue bridge, on the east side of the river, below the Royal Taj. This showing will just be a showing of Wolfwalkers. We will start it from the beginning for anyone who missed the first half this past Friday. We will not have shorts, we will just hit “play” on Wolfwalkers at 7:30. See you then!

p.s. There have been a lot of rumors about the person responsible for shutting us down and people asking what business he owns so they can boycott. As far as we can tell he is just a landlord. He owns the parking lot and the building next to it, but he does not own a business.

Santa Cruz Guerilla Drive-In

This Friday, September 25th, at sunset- all are invited to the fourth screening of the 2026 Santa Cruz Guerilla Drive-In season!

We are doing something a little different this month. Besides a new location, the shorts are actually part of the feature. Read on for more details.

This month we want to highlight the animations of Frédéric Back, a French-Canadian artist and film director of short animated films. Instead of shorts, beginning at sunset, we will screen the following Back short films:

- Crac! (1981) 15min - The long life of a hand carved rocking chair
- Tout~Rien (All~Nothing) (1978) 11min - The long & restless life of human desire & consumption.

After intermission, we are excited to present Wolfwalkers (2020) - In an Irish forest at the edge of an English-occupied town, two girls become unlikely friends — one a wolf hunter's daughter, the other a wild spirit who can transform into a wolf beneath the moon. Together they must protect the ancient woods from those who would tame it, and discover a magic that links their fates forever.

NEW LOCATION: This screening will be at the corner of Locust & Cedar St, in downtown Santa Cruz (a block from Pacific Ave). We will reclaim a parking lot, and project onto a large wall, on the backside of the downtown multi-plex.

BRING blankets, pillows, anything you need to be comfortable in the great outdoors with early cool weather and fog, friends, snacks to share. Donations to support the project are more than welcome - and notaflof* so not expected!. (*no one turned away for lack of funds).

SANTA CRUZ GUERILLA DRIVE-IN is an outdoor movie theatre under the stars that springs up in the fields and industrial wastelands. Beyond showing great free movies and bringing a broad community together, part of our mission is helping reclaim public space and transforming our urban environment.
