See Three Films for Sailors on Saturday at Annapolis Film Festival
Annapolis is the sailing capital of the United States and home of the U.S. Naval Academy. The Annapolis Film Festival would be remiss not to showcase the best films in boating and sailing each year. This showcase offers many different views of life on the ocean. Each year, AFF gathers top sailing gurus both local and from afar to lead us in a Q&A following the film. Hosted by local Annapolitan and sailor Gary Jobson, (former ESPN sailing commentator) the conversation is relevant to everyone but landlubbers.
This year's Sailing Showcase will feature three shorts films Saturday, April 2 At Jack C. Taylor at USNA. 12:30 – 2 p.m.
