The Pasadena Senior Center screens “Snatched” (2017, R), starring Goldie Hawn and Amy Schumer. When her boyfriend dumps her the night before their exotic vacation, an impetuous young woman persuades her ultra-cautious mother to travel with her to paradise, with unexpected results.

Conscientious Projector screens "Go Public," a 90-minute documentary showcasing one entire day in the Pasadena Unified School District. Pasadena is a racially and economically diverse community in Southern California with 28 public school campuses. On May 8, 2012, fifty small camera crews followed a wide-ranging group of individuals who participate, attend, support, and work in PUSD. Teachers, students, principals, volunteers and many others revealed their unique involvement in what makes a public school district function.

Admission is free and open to the public. Panel discussion will include State Senator Anthony Portantino and filmmakers Jim and Dawn O’Keeffe.

Dayton Street, west of Fair Oaks Avenue, was once a center of the African American community in Pasadena, centered around Friendship Baptist Church. Produced by Pasadena Heritage and the City’s Cultural Commission, the video "Presence of the Past - Dayton Street" tells the story of a thriving neighborhood. For more than a decade, from the mid-1980s until its move to the Madison House, Pasadena Heritage’s offices were located in the Church, and is part of its organization's history, too. Come for popcorn, camaraderie, and the re-telling of this chapter of Pasadena history.
