REGISTER NOW WHEN Tuesday, June 28, 2022, 7 p.m. WHERE Southwestern College Performing Arts Center AGES All ages COST Free At the San Ysidro Port of Entry - the busiest border crossing in the nation - wait times have skyrocketed; impacting everything from the shipping routes of multinational manufacturing industries to the daily commutes of workers who cross the border each day. Ongoing political focus on border security and safety has hampered the efficiency with which goods and services can flow between the two nations - a setback that has had ripple effects on the economies of either side of the border. Yet for many in San Diego, the full extent of this economic and cultural partnership remains relatively unknown. KPBS Investigative Border Reporter Gustavo Solis will discuss this relationship with a panel of experts, who will be taking audience questions. Guests include: Denice Garcia, Chief of Staff for San Diego County Supervisor Nora Vargas Ernesto Bravo, West Division President of Tecma Joe Smith, Senior Vice President of CBRE: Global Commercial Real Estate Services Kurt Honold, Secretary of Economy and Innovation Baja California Paola Avila, Chief of Staff for Mayor Todd Gloria A catered reception will follow the event. All attendees are required to wear masks in the theater. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the event begins at 7 p.m. promptly. Please allow time for parking and seating.

Cinema Junkie chronicles a century of Black cinema, from silent films to superheroes and beyond.

“Hollywoodland” pays homage to the undeniable influence of Hollywood on culture and music. This program traces the influence of the “Hollywood” sound on Rachmaninoff’s iconic Symphonic Dances, the jazz obsession of Russian composer Nikolai Kapustin, the romantic minimalism of Polina Nazaykinskaya’s cinematic “Nostalgia,” and the Oscar-nominated score by Hans Zimmer, The Interstellar. These diverse composers have in common the influence of the uniquely American art forms of jazz and minimalism, while their musical narratives are guided by principles of motion picture storytelling. The show will be narrated by Jacopo and Konstantin with a moderated Q&A at the end. Date | Friday, October 14 at 8 p.m. Location | The Baker-Baum Concert Hall at The Conrad Prebys Performing Arts Center Get tickets here! Ticket prices ranging from $25.50 to $58.
