San Diego Italian Film Festival Presents: "Perfect Strangers (Perfetti sconosciuti)" How well do we really know those close to us? During a dinner party, seven friends decide to play a dangerous game. All the attendees place their cell phone on the table and agree to make all texts and calls public: they want to prove that they have nothing to hide. What at first seems like a playful distraction between friends quickly turns into something much more… Italian with English subtitles. For more information visit: sandiegoitalianfilmfestival.com

From the gallery: The Hill Street Country Club presents OUTSIDE THE MALL, recent works by Mark Chamness Mark Chamness, a Californian artist based in Oceanside, is exhibiting new works in fibers and what the artist calls “discarded urban plastic” at the Hill Street Country Club September 2nd to December 9th, 2023. Mark’s work draws from legacies of abstraction, his training as a painter and carpenter, and his daily experiences of the last several years with the ongoing Covid pandemic. The last three years have been a time of significant personal and cultural change. Many people have been reexamining the domestic space and reconnecting to labor-intensive hand work. Though Mark’s practice stretches back much farther than that, these new works have evolved to include new materials from 2020 onwards. While supply chain issues and shipping made some materials harder to come by, there has been no shortage of single-use plastic. Mark collects bags caught in bushes or left on the beach, cuts them into strips, and tufts the strips into his needlepoint. Each piece becomes a record of its time, incorporating the stories embedded in the environment around him. “I deal in fragments. I love things that are stuffed in between the cracks, that are unimportant, things that are tossed aside.” - Mark Chamness Mark lives as a carpenter by day. He started working with wood in high school and transitioned into art making as funding for woodshop started waning. He eventually entered Cal Arts as a painter in 1992. Blending these traditions is at the core of his practice and allows the work to bounce back and forth between art and craft, structural and decorative, sensual and conceptual. —The Hill Street Country Club, edited by Akiko Surai Opening reception: 5-8 p.m. on Sept. 2 On view Sept. 2 through Dec. 9. Exhibition Programming begins in October. The gallery is wheelchair accessible with street parking. Related links: The Hill Street Country Club: Website | Instagram
