SUMMARY:Renewing the Dream: The Mobility Revolution and the Future of Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:Drawing together original research\, design studies\, and cultural essays\, Renewing the Dream offers the first comprehensive look at the changes remaking the mobility landscape of Southern California-and the opportunities to reappropriate vast tracts of the city for new uses.

SUMMARY:Eva’s Promise
DESCRIPTION:Directed by the Emmy Award winning documentarian Steve McCarthy\, Eva’s Promise tells the story of Eva\, who promised her brother\, Heinz Geiringer\, that she would retrieve his paintings and poetry\, hidden under the floorboards of their family’s attic\, if he should die in the concentration camps. Heinz and Eva’s mother married Otto Frank\, Anne Frank’s father\, after the war\, and so their story often sits in the shadows of The Diary of a Young Girl\, but this film showcases Heinz’s artistry and Eva’s dedication to share his story.

SUMMARY:Between Two Knees
DESCRIPTION:Coming to PAC NYC following acclaimed runs at Oregon Shakespeare Festival\, Yale Repertory Theatre\, McCarter Theater and Seattle Rep\, this play centers on one family’s story of love\, loss\, and resilience spanning the 1890 massacre at Wounded Knee\, forced re-education at Indian boarding schools\, World War II\, the Civil Rights Movement\, Vietnam and the American Indian Movement occupation of Wounded Knee in 1973. Directed by Obie Award winner Eric Ting and infused with The 1491s’ boldly uninhibited comedy\, this New York City premiere takes a hard look at the effects of systemic oppression long after our textbooks typically stop teaching Native history. Also\, it’s funny.
