Summer Movies in the Park is the largest free and family-friendly outdoor movie series in San Diego County, with dozens of hosting sites and over a hundred screenings. It launched in 2007 as a ‘take back our parks’ initiative – in sync with the County’s Live Well vision to sustain safe, healthy and thriving communities. Shows run May through October, in neighborhoods from the beach to the desert, and everything in between. Each movie event gives residents a reason to visit their local parks after dark, deterring inappropriate loitering and park use, and bringing additional safety and security to residents’ favorite locales. Events begin as early as 5 p.m., though actual movie start times are 15 minutes after sunset. Before the movie, many locations provide additional entertainment like arts and crafts, games, costume contests, music, dancing and food trucks. FAQ: What should I bring?

Some locations will have food available, so check the Event Specifics section of each location and date for more details. Bring a sweater or light jacket – it will cool down once the sun sets. What if it rains? In the event of rain or high winds a movie may be canceled. If it rains on the day of the movie you’re planning to attend, please contact the Parks & Recreation office to get up-to-date information on possible cancellations. Contact information for each location is in the Event Specifics section of each scheduled movie. Can I bring my dog? Many parks allow dogs as long as they remain on leash. Rules are typically listed on community boards or kiosk signs – but you may also call to confirm. Always keep a close eye and clean up after your pet. Where can I park?

The Alliance Française San Diego is proud to present the city’s cinematic event of the year, the San Diego French Film Festival, gathering cinephiles and francophiles, to celebrate francophonie, culture, and gastronomy. The Festival runs from June 11 to June 13, with a glamorous opening ceremony on June 11 at the high-end movie theater THE LOT in the heart of La Jolla with guests from the film industry, the arts and diplomacy. Three days to celebrate francophone cinema. The selection includes movies each depicting a different aspect of the concept of travel, with the feature films L’Astronaute (France), Le Plongeur (Canada), Mascarade (France), and Covid-19 Ground Zero (France-USA), the short film Cendres (Tunisia), and a selection of ten short films. In line with its mission to support culture, part of the profits will support educational programs for students learning French in the San Diego school district.

A new year brings a flurry of new laws taking effect across California. We take a closer look at a few of them. Then, California is poised to add millions of electric cars to local roads in the next decade, but is there enough electricity to fuel them? In September, KPBS Environment Reporter Erik Anderson looked into whether the grid can handle the load. Next, after a 50 year absence, Vietnam’s first rock ‘n’ roll queen returns with a new album of her restored classics. Finally, we revisit a segment about a six-hour series from Rick Steves called “Art of Europe.”

From the artist: “Sky To A Machine” is the original text I typed into the prompt of a visual AI tool just to see how it would render back images to me. The initial results were exciting and so I spent another hour refining the prompt with additional modifiers until I reached a composition I wanted to paint. Is AI a valid tool for use in exploring artistic expression as I just described or has it somehow corrupted my creativity? The AI debate regarding the art-making process has been very loud with artists posting "NO AI" across social media and lobbying platforms and galleries to remove AI-generated "works". One of the biggest concerns is that the use of AI in art may lead to a dehumanization of the creative process and the concept of “artist”. As an oil & acrylic painter, I do not feel that AI is a substitute for my human creativity. Instead, I find it to be a powerful tool that can be used to augment and enhance my creativity. By leveraging the power of machine learning algorithms to generate new source material, I have been able to create works of art in a more efficient manner than my previous tools of internet image searching and Photoshop editing. My painting process itself is not changed and during the evolution of transforming the source material into a painting my own interpretation ultimately becomes the final work produced. In this show, you will find experimental compositions from keywords such as "sky to a machine", "robot riot protests", "visual kei punk portraits", tyrannosaurus rex visual shock", and "walls Mexico border". All in the quest to tell stories about our modern condition as we navigate the digital age.
