A powerful literary milestone arrives at KPBS. On Wednesday, Dec. 3, 2025, Latina writers and readers will gather for the first Latina Authors Book Fair & Showcase — a cultural celebration created by Latinas, for Latinas. The event highlights recently published Latina authors who will be selling their books, sharing their journeys, and showing others how to publish their own. In a publishing industry where Latinas/os represent only 8% of all published authors in the United States, this event aims to break barriers, expand representation, and open the door for future writers who deserve to be seen and heard. Quote from Elsa Sevilla “When we write, we reclaim history, honor ourselves and our communities, and create space for the next generation to be seen. Our stories empower us — they are vital. This book fair is more than an event; it’s a movement to lift our voices and ignite new ones.” Quote from Erica Alfaro “For many of us, writing is an act of courage. As Latinas, we turn our struggles, our dreams, and our resilience into pages that heal and empower. Sharing our books is how we remind every woman that her story matters — and deserves to be published.” Attendees will: • Meet Latina authors and purchase their books • Learn how they wrote, published, and promoted their work • Ask questions during an interactive panel and Q&A session • Access Two FREE Webinars: Media Training with Elsa & Storytelling with Erica — (for attendees only) As the first Latina Authors Book Fair at KPBS/SDSU, this is a rare opportunity to join a literary space built for the community, by the community. Space is limited.

Banned in Francisco Franco’s Spain and denounced by the Vatican upon its premiere, Luis Buñuel’s irreverent vision of life as a beggar’s banquet is regarded by many as his masterpiece. In it, novice nun Viridiana (Silvia Pinal) does her utmost to maintain her Catholic principles, but her lecherous uncle (Fernando Rey) and a motley assemblage of paupers force her to confront the limits of her idealism. Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 1961 Cannes Film Festival, "Viridiana" is as audacious today as ever. Digital Gym Cinema on Facebook / Instagram

"Wisdom of Happiness" shows us a timeless truth: happiness is still possible, even in the midst of chaos and uncertainty. This powerful message of hope is delivered as a personal audience with one of the greatest living thinkers, Nobel Peace Prize winner Tenzin Gyatso, known to billions around the world as the Dalai Lama. Speaking as a member of our single global community, he shares practical wisdom for finding peace, compassion, and hope in the midst of chaos. With disarming clarity and deep humanity, he invites us to imagine — and help create — a world where compassion is activated as our strongest force for change, and happiness is within reach for everyone.

Julianne Moore gives a breakthrough performance as Carol White, a Los Angeles housewife in the late 1980s who comes down with a debilitating illness. After the doctors she sees can give her no clear diagnosis, she comes to believe that she has frighteningly extreme environmental allergies. A profoundly unsettling work from the great American director Todd Haynes, "Safe" functions on multiple levels: as a prescient commentary on self-help culture, as a metaphor for the AIDS crisis, as a drama about class and social estrangement, and as a horror film about what you cannot see. This revelatory drama was named the best film of the 1990s in a Village Voice poll of more than fifty critics. Digital Gym Cinema on Facebook / Instagram
