Local film curation group Film Geeks San Diego returns for its next screening in their Bonkers Ass Cinema series with a presentation of Craig S. Zahler's "Brawl in Cell Block 99." This one time screening will be kicked off with a special pre-recorded introduction with Zahler as he welcomes first-time and returning viewers of his 2017 genre feature. Tickets are on sale now for this special event with all proceeds benefitting future film curation in San Diego County. Synopsis: After shocking audiences worldwide with his cowboy-versus-cannibal western, Bone Tomahawk, director S. Craig Zahler immediately followed up his debut feature with another bone-crushing and literate genre workout: Brawl in Cell Block 99. Vince Vaughn, in a career-defining role, stars as Bradley Thomas, a man just always one step short of getting his life together. Setback after setback sees Bradley whisked off to prison, where he must simultaneously match wits (and fists!) with bloodthirsty drug dealers and the maniacal Warden Tuggs, played by Miami Vice’s Don Johnson. Runtime: 132 Minutes.

There is only one Woody. So loved and adored by his fans. We just love the passion that he brings to the stage...but it's not just the passion...he's got a gift...and it's one of the best shows you'll see at Old Town Blues Club. With over 10 years, hundreds of songs, and 1000+ shows under their belt, Woody and the Harrelsons strive to take their audiences on a musical journey back in time. What started as an attempt to focus on 90s alternative rock, their repertoire slowly morphed into the melting pot of 70s, 80s, 90s, rock, pop, hip-hop, and funk that you hear from them today. Featuring a rotating cast of lifelong friends, WATH fuses improvisation into classic songs that have inspired them to share their musical love and energy with the world.

The second event in the series Music on the Move features a presentation by the project Drummers Without Borders and Francisco Morales, sound artist and curator of the Front Gallery. Showcasing artists whose work and practice are informed by border dynamics, we present important perspectives on how music and performance play a role in reshaping the border narrative. Drummers Without Borders (DWB) was formed in San Diego, CA, in 2004 by Felix Diaz, Silvio Diaz, and Abril Diaz, a family of musicians, educators, and artists. It began as a program introducing music to students with special needs in one underserved elementary school. Felix, Silvio, and Abril taught the students how to drum to help establish feelings of accomplishment. Through the years, DWB gained experience, evolved, and grew to incorporate students and the public of all ages in the therapeutic practice of drumming. Drummers Without Borders’ mission is to develop music projects to address gaps in education, community building, health, and the environment stretching beyond San Diego. DWB’s welcomes collaboration with individuals and organizations of similar interests. They hope their expertise can create a better world for future generations.
