Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

FILM
The Very Short Movie Festival starts tonight at Cinespace. During the festival, which ends on April 12, a total of 48 shorts from around the world will compete in the comedy, drama, animation, documentary and experimental categories. Awards will be given in each grouping based on online votes at VeryShortMovies.com, and a jury of professionals will select the Best of Fest winner.

6 pm // Cinespace // 6356 Hollywood Blvd., Los Angeles // $10-$15.

TALK
Sleepwalking Through The Mekong follows the LA-based band Dengue Fever on their recent journey to Cambodia to perform 60s and 70s Cambodian rock. "More than a rockumentary, the film serves up a portrait of modern Cambodia as the band tours through Phnom Penh and beyond, crossing a great cultural chasm with the same spirit of Cambodia's original rock pioneers." The filmmaker and band members will be in attendance.

8 pm // Echo Park Film Center // 1200 Alvarado St., Los Angeles// $5.
