Join us in the cemetery under the full moon for the classic 80s horror masterpiece from director John Landis (Animal House, Thriller).
Wild dream sequences, creature effects, and stark, spooky camerawork make for a remarkably eerie mood. Landis masterfully weaves biting suspense and horrifying gore with a dry sense of humor, a combination that makes this one of the most fun, and scary, horror films of all times.
DJs Turquoise Wisdom and Elijah Wood (Wisdom Wood) spin before and after the screening.

“Greenway 2020″ is the namesake of the visionary campaign recently launched by the The LA River Corporation. The 10K race is the inaugural run/ walk event planned through 2020, wherein each year we’ll increase the course distance, while still hosting a 10K, to a 20-mile run that will coincide with the completion of the vision created by the LARRC. A portion of all proceeds, including 100% of donations on race-day, will go directly to the LARRC and their mission. We could not be prouder to host this important event and bring more awareness to the communities surrounding the LA River.
The LA River Corporation is a non-profit venture charged with catalyzing responsible real estate and related economic development along the LA River. Our mission is to transform the LA River to improve people’s lives by carrying out sustainable land use projects, advocacy for river friendly policy, and programs for community benefit.
The LAARC is working to create a continuous 51-mile greenway corridor that will run along a restored LA River – the Greenway 2020 campaign. Greenway 2020 is a movement bringing together all Angelenos to realize a new vision for the Los Angeles River by the year 2020. Our Greenway 2020 campaign is working with public and private partners to complete a continuous 51-mile Greenway adjacent to the LA River by the year 2020. The Greenway will be a public destination worthy of our city—complete with sustainable parks, gathering space, potential green energy sources, and dining amenities. Our mission is to transform not only the river, but also how people engage with the river and the city. Join us in creating a new way for LA, and get involved.

In her new collection of selected stories, Taraghi—one of Iran’s best-known and most critically acclaimed authors—draws on her childhood experiences in Tehran, adult exile in Paris, and subsequent returns to post-revolution Tehran . Her stories are, as Azar Nafisi writes, “filled with passion, curiosity, empathy, as well as mischief—definitely mischief.” Listen in as Taraghi shares from The Pomegranate Lady and Her Sons, made fully accessible to the English-speaking audience for the first time.
Goli Taraghi is an Iranian-born, U.S. educated author who returned to Tehran to study and work in international relations and later, to teach philosophy. Her work is inspired by growing up in the privileged, old-money neighborhood of Shemiran in Tehran and later, as an exile in Paris and various visits to post-revolution Tehran. Taraghi has been honored as a Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres in France and has won the Bita Prize for Literature and Freedom given by Stanford University in 2009. She is included in Reza Aslan’s anthology of modern literature from the Middle East, Tablet & Pen; in the anthology Words without Borders: The World through the Eyes of Writers; and in the PEN anthology of contemporary Iranian Literature edited by Nahid Mozaffari, Strange Times, My Dear. She is a bestselling author in Iran, where her books are often censored.
Reza Aslan, an internationally acclaimed writer and scholar of religions, is author, most recently, of Zealot: The Life and Times of Jesus of Nazareth. His first book, No god but God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam, has been translated into thirteen languages and named by Blackwell as one of the hundred most important books of the last decade. He is also the author of How to Win a Cosmic War: God, Globalization and the End of the War on Terror (published in paperback as Beyond Fundamentalism), as well as the editor of Tablet & Pen: Literary Landscapes from the Modern Middle East. Aslan is Adjunct Senior Fellow at the Council of Foreign Relations and Associate Professor of Creative Writing at UC Riverside.
