SUMMARY:"Maya and The Wave" at The Music Hall
DESCRIPTION:SHOWTIMES\nWednesday\, May 28 2025\, 7:00pm\nThursday\, May 29 2025\, 7:00pm \nTICKETS\n$16 Adults\n$14 Seniors 60+\, Students/Children\, & Military/Veteran/First Responder \nhttps://www.themusichall.org/events/mayaandthewave \nOne of the most critically acclaimed documentaries of the decade. Ten years in the making\, Maya and the Wave tells the story of Maya Gabeira\, the first woman to surf the giant wave in Nazaré\, Portugal. She nearly drowns – and is ridiculed by the male big wave surfers who dominate the sport. Three spine surgeries and five years later\, she surfs the biggest wave a woman has ever surfed. When her accomplishment is disregarded\, Maya enlists the help of her fans to fight for recognition\, and becomes the first female surfer honored with a Guinness World Record in big wave surfing. \nAfter the film is an exclusive\, pre-recorded on-screen discussion with Maya and director Stephanie Johnes\, moderated by actor Rashida Jones. \nToronto International Film Festival: People’s Choice Award\nDOCNYC: Opening Night Film\nSun Valley Film Festival: Best Documentary Feature\nNantucket Film Festival: Best of the Fest \nThe film more than succeeds in its primary goals of providing an inspirational role model plus lots of stupendous surfing footage\, a combination that will enthrall most viewers. -Variety \nWhat makes Maya such a compelling subject and Johnes’s portrait of her so different from films about male surf legends\, is Gabeira’s willingness to admit her fear. -Rogerebert.com \nLeaning heavily on a wealth of breathtaking slow-motion surf footage\, Stephanie Johnes’s crowd-pleasing documentary tracks Gabeira’s triumph over industry sexism and a catastrophic wipeout that nearly cost her career and her life. Stirring stuff. -Observer \nIt’s all shown with a single goal\, though: to capture Maya’s spirit\, perseverance\, and heroism. Because just as Burle got her excited about a sport that women weren’t supposed to pursue\, she’s now inspiring young girls around the world. -Film Stage \nA mix of fly-on-the-wall material with archive footage and interviews\, Maya And The Wave is a by-turns exhilarating and infuriating exploration of how\, for a woman\, talent is often not enough to cut through. -Screen International \n‘R’ 95min \n—\nSpecial thanks to our Cinema Series Sponsor\, Newburyport Bank.
