Please join us for a special introduction by Olga Cecilia Sanchez, fashion designer, Board Member of Design Forward Alliance, and Fashion Track Lead at San Diego Design Week, before the 5 p.m. showtime on Friday, October 2 and 4:30 p.m. showtime on Sunday, October 4. Olga Cecilia will lead a special post-screening discussion about Isaac Mizrahi’s career and impact on the fashion industry after the 4:30 p.m. screening on Sunday, October 4. Synopsis: Designer Isaac Mizrahi proved a force of nature on the road to his legendary fall 1994 collection, a career-defining triumph that was documented with an effervescent intimacy by Douglas Keeve, Mizrahi’s then-partner. Both a time capsule of the buoyant, raucous 1990s, when pop culture and high art became interchangeable, and a vérité-style, in-the-trenches report on the daily agonies and ecstasies of the creative process, this seminal artistic portrait—sumptuously shot by Ellen Kuras and Robert Leacock—transcends glitz and glamour to offer an extraordinary view of the charisma and force of will inherent to genius, as well as its personal costs.

Susie Benchasil Seiter, conductor San Diego Symphony Orchestra "The Ring" – the landmark psychological horror film directed by Gore Verbinski – comes to Jacobs Music Center for a one-night-only concert performance. The film will be shown on the big screen as the San Diego Symphony Orchestra performs Hans Zimmer’s haunting score, conducted by Susie Benchasil Seiter. One of the most iconic modern-day horror films, the tale begins when the bizarre death of a teenage girl leads journalist Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts) to investigate a mysterious urban legend. In a cabin she discovers a videocassette containing disturbing imagery, and anyone who views the tape receives a chilling phone call from an unknown voice warning “seven days.” In the liner notes of the original motion picture soundtrack, composer Hans Zimmer describes the score’s minimalist, unsettling approach as essential to the film’s creeping dread and psychological tension. "The Ring," released by DreamWorks Pictures in 2002, helped redefine modern horror and remains one of the most influential psychological thrillers of its era.
