Working without a script in this way creates films that are unique to Malick. But it also raises a basic question: What is gained from making films like this?. “It’s obviously a question only he could answer, and we know he … wouldn’t,” Gonda says. “But (with) this style of filmmaking, there is such shared trust with the actors. It allows them to take full advantage of working this way when they are able to discover a huge part of the story. Obviously, while there’s a whole lot of preparation that goes into this, a huge compartment is left to be explored and discovered.

Tips: Prepare yourself for the stroller onslaught. Going early is best to avoid the crowds. And consider parking in a nearby garage at Salvio and Colfax streets. It’s free, and the streets near Mt. Diablo High are narrow and will fill with cars quickly. While many of the attractions are on a grassy field, some are on a blacktop that can get uncomfortably warm. When/where: July 25-27 at Christmas Hill Park. Why go: It’s a rite of passage for Bay Area foodies. You attend, you eat, you reek. Yum.
