The four films are: "The New Los Angeles", documenting the city's recent political and social history; "The Eastsiders", about the historic Central Avenue area before 1965; "Chicano Rock", Jon Wilkman's film tracing the history of rock n' roll and Latino identities in East L.A.; and "Chinatown Remembered: Los Angeles During the 1930s and 1940s", about the creation of the first planned Chinese American community in the U.S.
These films will be screened for the L.A. Archives Bazaar at the USC Davidson Conference Center (3415 South Figueroa Street at Jefferson Boulevard) on Saturday from 10 am to 5 pm. I know this conflicts with the proposed Grad Student Mixer, but maybe we could go in the morning for part of it.
Admission is free, but parking is $8 (of course).

fyi to anyone who wants to go this event. there is plenty of free street parking right off campus. and don't worry about the safety of your cars. i parked there for years and never had a break in. anything north of jefferson and west of figueroa is good and a short walk to the davidson center. on a saturday morning, you should be able to find parking there. if you get past west of hoover or north of 28th St, the walk is a little longer - but still doable.
