Description
Cape Cod National Seashore will kick off its annual winter film festival on Sunday, January 7, with the theme, “Maritime Movie Classics”. The films will show on six consecutive Sundays at 1:30 pm on the theatre-size screen at Salt Pond Visitor Center in Eastham. The festival is co-sponsored by the Friends of Cape Cod National Seashore.
Details for February 11: PT 109 (2 hr. 20 min.) Before he becomes commander-in-chief, John F. Kennedy is a lieutenant in command of a PT-109 boat during World War II. In this dramatization of the future president’s war efforts, Kennedy uses his family name to put himself in the action instead of shirking his duties. Assigned to battle in the Solomon Islands, he leads his crew on treacherous rescue missions.
Salt Pond Visitor Center is located at the intersection of Route 6 and Nauset Road in Eastham and can be contacted by calling 508-255-3421. The visitor center is open from 9 am to 4:30 pm.
