WURTH’s work has appeared in numerous journals including "BUZZFEED" and "THE KENYON REVIEW". "WHITE HORSE" is her debut novel. She is a Kenyon Review Writers Workshop Scholar, attended the Tin House Summer Workshop, and is a narrative artist for the Meow Wolf Denver installation. She is of Apache/Chickasaw/Cherokee descent. JENN GIVHAN is a Mexican-American and indigenous poet, novelist, and transformational coach from the Southwestern desert and the recipient of poetry fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts and PEN/Rosenthal Emerging Voices. Jenn is the author of five full-length poetry collections, most recently "BELLY TO THE BRUTAL" (Wesleyan University Press), and the novels "TRINITY SIGHT", "JUBILEE", and "RIVER WOMAN", "RIVER DEMON" (Blackstone Press). Her work has appeared in THE NEW REPUBLIC, THE NATION, POETRY, and many others. About "WHITE HORSE" Some people are haunted in more ways than one. Heavy metal, ripped jeans, Stephen King novels, and the occasional beer at the White Horse have defined urban Indian Kari James’s life so far. But when her cousin Debby finds an old family bracelet that once belonged to Kari’s mother, it inadvertently calls up both her mother’s ghost and a monstrous entity, and her willful ignorance about her past is no longer sustainable… Haunted by visions of her mother and hunted by this mysterious creature, Kari must search for what happened to her mother all those years ago. Her father, permanently disabled from a car crash, can’t help her. Her Auntie Squeaker seems to know something but isn’t eager to give it all up at once. Debby’s anxious to help, but her controlling husband keeps getting in the way. Kari’s journey toward a truth long denied by both her family and law enforcement forces her to confront her dysfunctional relationships, thoughts about a friend she lost in childhood, and her desire for the one thing she’s always wanted but could never have.

Director: Emanuele Crialese | Runtime: 97 minutes | Year: 2022 | Rating: UR | Country: Italy | Language: Italian | Fiction Genre: Fiction, Drama, Coming-of-Age, LGBTQIA2S+ Clara (Penélope Cruz) and her emotionally distant husband Felice (Vincenzo Amato) relocate to Rome to raise a family. Even though the paint is fresh, and the appliances are new, the crushing expectations around marriage, desire, and gender in the early 1970s remain as traditional as ever. Their children Andrew (played by newcomer Luana Giuliani), Gino, and Diana are likewise poised at a precipice, on the verge of adolescence, with nothing but their imaginations to defuse family tensions. The eldest child, Andrew (nicknamed Adri by his parents), yearns for another life – an outsized, vibrantly-realized vision of a world where he gets to live as the boy he knows himself to be. Without an accepted vocabulary for talking about his transgender identity, Andrew tells adults that he’s an alien from another galaxy and makes a habit of running away to pursue a local Roma girl who accepts his boyhood at face value. As an outsider ostracized for her own eccentricities, Clara instinctively strives to protect her son despite not fully understanding him. An effortlessly moving film about growing up, fitting in, and breaking the mold, L’immensita is as freewheeling and creative as its central characters, mixing genres and staging musical numbers out of thin air. Critic Quotes: “I have seen several trans coming-of-age films — few with this amount of specificity, nuance, and imagination.” - Autostraddle Showtimes: Friday, June 16, 2023: 12:00 Saturday, June 17, 2023: 3:30, 8:00 Sunday, June 18, 2023: 12:00, 5:00 Monday, June 19, 2023: 3:05, 7:15 Tuesday, June 20, 2023: 12:30, 4:40 Wednesday, June 21, 2023: 2:20, 4:30 Thursday, June 22, 2023: 1:00, 5:10 For more information visit: digitalgym.org Stay Connected on Social Media Instagram / Facebook

The La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, one of California's most treasured beachfront resorts for almost 87 years, will host the 134th Annual Pacific Coast Men’s Doubles Tennis Championship, March 2-5. Many of the best NCAA Men's college teams in the country are expected to compete, including: Boston College Ball State Butler University California Lutheran University Claremont-Mudd-Scripps (CMS) Nebraska Pepperdine Pomona-Pitzer San Diego State University Stanford UC Berkeley UC Davis UC Santa Barbara UC Los Angeles UC San Diego University of Michigan University of San Diego University of Southern California Villanova Also entering this tournament will be top teaching pros, promising juniors, college coaches and former tour players, making this one of the most interesting and unusual competitor fields in the country. “We are very happy to host the 134th Annual Pacific Coast Men’s Doubles Championship at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club,” said Tournament Director Bill Kellogg. “Tennis fans are going to have a great opportunity to watch the top collegiate players in the country along with a strong field of independent competitors. We are looking forward to four days of high-level doubles competition.” Additional tournament information is available on the Pacific Coast Men’s Doubles Championship website. Named one of the “Top 50 Tennis Resorts in the World” by Tennis Resorts Online, the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club's reputation as a top tennis destination started when it attracted its first major tournament – the Pacific Coast Men's Doubles Championship in 1942. The tournament is one of the five-oldest tennis events in the world and the second oldest tennis event in the United States. First held in 1890 at The Hotel Del Monte in Monterey, California, the event was created to promote the sale of real estate on the Monterey peninsula. The original concept pitted the best players from the East versus those from the West. This coast-to-coast rivalry was the inspiration for the Davis Cup. Past winners of the Pacific Coast Men’s Doubles Championship include some on the greatest names in tennis, including Jack Kramer, Ted Schroeder, Bobby Riggs, Pancho Segura, Don Budge, Tony Trabert, Stan Smith, Bob Lutz, Arthur Ashe, Dennis Ralston and John McEnroe. The Club will also host the USTA National Hard Court Championships for Women’s 50-90 age groups and La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club Hard Court Tournament for Men’s 60-85 age groups from Monday, May 15, through Sunday, May 21.
