Cinema Associate Holly's Staff Pick for August at Digital Gym Cinema! Influenced and accompanied by manosphere mantras and motivational content, a young man sets out on a road trip through the North American continent, from his home in the Midwest all the way to Alaska, on a quest for self-optimization, in Jacob Gregor’s END OF HISTORY, a quiet yet fierce satire that is frequently funny, often absurd and always lonely. The voices of content creators preaching pop stoicism and the grievances of Canadian conservative talk radio haunt the stunning natural vistas and endless suburban sprawl of his northward journey, with nothing to be found and nothing to feel alongside the frozen lakes, at the feet of snow-covered mountains, in strip mall parking lots, gas stations and motel honeymoon suites. Influenced by the landscape films of James Benning, the film also recalls an old saw from director Alex Cox that every road movie is about the death of the American dream. END OF HISTORY certainly qualifies, but it is notable for the sobriety and wit with which it approaches the current post-dream post-history American nightmare. Unlike the road movies of the seventies and early-eighties that Cox may have had in mind (mentioning this idea in his Moviedrome intro for Robert Aldrich’s 1981 wrestling road movie …ALL THE MARBLES aka THE CALIFORNIA DOLLS), there is no naive belief in the dream to be shattered along the road as the film unfolds. END OF HISTORY doesn’t gradually reveal the hollowness and broken promises so much as use them as its essential foundation and point of departure, situating itself and us in a uniquely hopeless time and place in the American landscape.

California’s first commercial carbon-storage project is operating even though the state has yet to adopt rules required by law, 19 months after a key deadline.

Chalk Circle Collective presents a brand new play in an experimental workshop production to Cygnet Theatre's Joan Performing Arts Center. "Advanced Persistent Teenagers" by Deepak Kumar (House of India at the Old Globe) follows 2 teenage hackers, Axyz and Lapras, who only know each other through online voice chat. When their hacker collective, dark w0rld, abruptly disbands, the boys find themselves adrift. Searching for purpose—and still craving the rush—the two launch a plan that may just change the hacker world forever. This "workshop production" is a novel concept rarely seen in the landscape of professional theatre. The 2-person play will be fully staged and produced - but because this workshop process is an opportunity for playwright Deepak Kumar to revise and explore, the actors will have new rewrites for every performance. With new script pages in hand, our two incredible actors will navigate a different and unique version of the play each night. There will even be 2 alternate endings on the 2 weekends at the Joan so you can come back and see just how much has changed! Becks Redman, artistic producer at the Old Globe, directs this production starring Devyn Wade and Giancarlo Lugo. Chalk Circle Collective is the avant garde theatre company behind last year's "The Strangers" at the Old Town theatre and the award-winning productions of "Constellations" and "The Turn of the Screw" Chalk Circle Collective on Facebook / Instagram

Thursdays, August 6, 13, 20 & 27, 2026 The Athenaeum's outdoor movie series, Flicks on the Bricks, invites you to enjoy classic movies on our patio during beautiful summer nights. In August, KPBS film critic, arts reporter, and Cinema Junkie podcast host Beth Accomando returns to host the 20th annual Flicks on the Bricks series. Frank Capra was born in Italy and raised in Los Angeles. As an immigrant, he pursued the American Dream. He would go on to win Oscars for directing "Mr. Deeds Goes to Town" (1936) and other film comedies that championed the common man at the expense of the powers that be. Capra’s films reflect an immigrant's vision of what America and the American Dream were and how inspiring this country at its best could be. But he was never blind to its dark side, to corruption or to evil. His films are fueled by idealism and hope. So, as we celebrate America at 250, let's remember what immigrants like Capra contributed and bask in his vision of what we and America can be at our best. Popcorn is included with your ticket. Beverages (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) will be available for purchase. Plus, enjoy weekly trivia and prizes throughout the series. Join the Athenaeum for its 20th year of hot summer fun!
