East County Multicultural Festival on November 4 set to host the event in El Cajon in person for the 6th year Welcome Newcomer Network is pleased to announce our 6th Multicultural Festival will take place Nov. 4, 2023 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at EJE ACADEMIES. The event will include multicultural food, cultural dance, a show of traditional costumes, story-telling, games and raffle drawings. For this year, we anticipate over 1,000 attendees. The Welcome Newcomer Network (WNN) is a working group which consists of over 40 agencies, school districts, social service organization, health facilities, and the County of San Diego. The WNN was formed to aid agencies in reaching out to our new families as they adapt to life in East County. The mission of the WNN is to encourage respect and understanding of diverse cultures through community education and new comer support coordination. Our festival was inaugurated in 2017 to salute and activate our newcomers to contribute to the community as fully empowered and engaged citizens. Our 2017, 2018, 2019 festivals were both joyous and uplifting events connecting people from so many different countries, cultures and languages, and in 2021 and 2022 we held a drive-thru event! The entertainment is provided by local musicians, school bands, dancers and poets. Our festival is a truly exhilarating display of the harmonious possibilities for San Diego’s fast-growing hub for our refugee and immigrant populations. It is critical that we spread some good feeling in today’s divisive climate. Help us spread the word and join us in celebrating and empowering our newcomer voices to participate fully in weaving the fabric of this amazing diverse community.

California lawmakers are trying to strengthen protections against doxxing — publishing someone’s personal information online with the intent to harm.

Nancy Savoca’s star-studded indie gem is a chronicle of a spirited Italian-American New York family that perfectly balances humor, tragedy, and pathos. Joseph Santangelo (Vincent D’Onofrio) is a butcher with a wicked sense of humor who “wins” his wife Catherine (a stellar Tracey Ullman) in a pinochle game. Over the protests of his mother (Judith Malina) who talks to ghosts and makes deals with saints, Joseph marries Catherine. When the old lady dies, her spirit is channeled into her granddaughter Teresa who overtakes the film with her yearning to serve God. Perfectly embodying a modern-day Bernadette, Lili Taylor imbues Teresa with a mix of dedicated innocence and naïveté. Executive produced by Jonathan Demme, with memorable performances from Michael Imperioli, Michael Rispoli and Victor Argo, Household Saints showcases a unique voice in 1990s independent filmmaking. Household Saints has been digitally restored and remastered by Lightbox Film Center at University of the Arts (Philadelphia) in collaboration with Milestone Films with support from Ron and Suzanne Naples. Restoration Supervisor: Ross Lipman, Corpus Fluxus. Picture Restoration: Illuminate Hollywood. Sound Restoration: Audio Mechanics.

The success of Dario Argento’s "The Bird with The Crystal Plumage" ushered in a wave of new, modern takes on the giallo thriller. Some rose above the crowd thanks to skillful execution and stylistic experimentation. Case in point: "The Fifth Cord", which, in the hands of director Luigi Bazzoni (Le Orme, the Possessed), turns a conventional premise into a visually stunning exploration of alienation and isolation. When a man barely survives a brutal assault en route home from a New Year’s party, washed-up, whisky-swilling journalist Franco Nero (DJANGO) is assigned to the case. Before long, the maniac strikes again, this time with fatal results. As the body count rises, Nero is under suspicion himself, making it even more imperative that he crack the case. His only clue: black gloves found at the location of every attack, each with a finger cut off… “Remember that classic scene in "Crystal Plumage" where a victim-to-be ascends a dark staircase, lit only by a flickering candle in her hand? Ever want to see an entire movie shot so beautifully? Thanks to Vittorio Storaro (1900, Apocalypse Now), the same cinematographer, this fascinating giallo has enough visual style to fuel a dozen other thrillers.” — Nathaniel Thompson, Mondo Digital Stay Updated with Digital Gym Cinema!
