From Space 4 Art: We are thrilled to announce that San Diego's Poet Laureate, Jason Magabo Perez, will join us as both a guest studio artist and guest performer at our next Open Studios on Saturday, June 10 from 4:00-8:00 PM! Perez is passionate about using his post as Poet Laureate to demystify poetry and help people access the tools to express themselves through it. Thus, he will host a pop-up Poetry Lab where guests may mingle with him, watch (or join) him composing in action, and explore his other works on display. His time with us will culminate in a performance, perhaps even including a collaborative piece created during our event! As usual, most of our other visual arts studios will be open, and other S4A musicians will also perform. Please visit our website closer to June 10 for an updated schedule of activities and performances, or subscribe to our e-news. Related links: Space 4 Art on Instagram | Facebook

The Suraj Israni Center for Cinematic Arts, Film Studies Program, and Center for Hellenic Studies are pleased to invite you to the screening of "Lynch/Oz" followed by Q&A with Alexandre O. Philippe on Saturday, May 20, 2023 at 5 p.m. at the Mosaic Building 113 in the North Torrey Pines Living and Learning Neighborhood. About the Film: The films of David Lynch and "The Wizard of Oz" have held a mirror to each other for decades. "Lynch/Oz" explores one of the most fascinating puzzles in the history of motion pictures: the enduring symbiosis between America’s primordial fairytale and David Lynch’s singular brand of popular surrealism. About Alexandre O. Philippe: Swiss-American filmmaker Alexandre O. Philippe has written and directed numerous award-winning films and documentaries, many of which take on the role of unpacking the most influential works of master filmmakers. His most recent film, "78/52: Hitchcock’s Shower Scene," is a documentary about Alfred Hitchcock’s iconic shower scene from Psycho. The film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and screened extensively at festivals before its release by IFC Films. The documentary explores the intangible cinematic space between the shots and delves into Hitchcock’s genius in unprecedented fashion. It is the first feature-length investigation into the art, craft, and influence of a single extraordinary scene. Philippe holds a master’s degree in dramatic writing from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts and is creative director at Exhibit A Pictures. Other past works include "Doc of the Dead," "The People vs. George Lucas," and an ongoing series of short films for The Criterion Collection titled "Double Exposure." Over the years, he has conducted numerous film analyses and written seminars at schools, universities, film festivals, and museums around the world, featuring in-depth deconstructions of classic and contemporary films. Philippe has also served on several film-festival juries, including the Edinburgh International Film Festival, Rome Film Festival, and New Zealand Film Awards. Location: The Mosaic 113 Auditorium is located in the Suraj Israni Center for Cinematic Arts at UC San Diego.
