CARPINTERIA, Calif. — Get ready to see photography in an entirely new way.

The Carpinteria Photography Club will present “The Eyes Have It!” on Sunday, November 8, bringing its second annual one-night-only cinematic photography experience to the big screen at The Alcazar Theatre.

Last year, something magical happened. Stunning photographs filled The Alcazar’s giant screen in brilliant high definition as powerful music surrounded the audience. There was laughter, standing ovations and even tears.

Now, the Carpinteria Photography Club is doing it again  – with an entirely new collection of images personally curated by the Club’s photographers and paired with musical selections chosen to complement their work.

Photography has never looked – or sounded – quite like this.

This year’s presentation embraces an “anything goes” spirit, inviting photographers to showcase the images, subjects and perspectives that inspire them. The result is an immersive, cinematic celebration of photography designed to move, surprise and inspire audiences.
