SCREENING: Los Angeles Now and Mixed Feelings: San Diego/Tijuana
Phillip Rodriguez’s documentaries examine the changing ethnic makeup of Los Angeles and San Diego.
Los Angeles Now is an artful evocation and investigation of the metropolis as it comes of age and wrestles with its history and its future. The film examines the cultural and intellectual activity of one of the world’s most influential places at a moment of profound change. The film includes conversations with a broad range of Los Angeles figures, from acclaimed actor Salma Hayek and businessman/philanthropist Eli Broad to renowned author and essayist Richard Rodriguez and Cardinal Roger Mahony.
Mixed Feelings: San Diego/Tijuana is a documentary about the San Diego-Tijuana region and its inevitable transnational future. Conversations with scholars, planners, and architects from both cities open a window into the unprecedented dialogue now occurring on the U.S./Mexico border. Set to hip Nortec music—with an artful use of digital technology—the documentary creates a space where binaries blur and opposites invert.
