all day: Movies

The New Beverly theater will screen two classics of science-fiction cinema: “La Jetee,” Chris Marker’s experimental 1962 short film--a classic of French avant-garde filmmaking--and Andrei Tarkovsky’s 1972 “Solaris,” a poetic and chilling adaptation of the Stanislaw Lem novel about a Soviet space station where the cosmonauts are drifting into madness because of the vast, dreamlike sea outside. Both films are visionary and unique and should not be missed, as they are rarely screened. (The uncut version of “Solaris” will be screened.)

* “La Jetee” and “Solaris,” New Beverly Cinema, 7165 Beverly Blvd. On Sunday “La Jetee” screens at 3:45 and 7:30 p.m.; “Solaris” screens at 4:30 and 8:10 p.m. On Monday and Tuesday “La Jetee” screens at 7:30 p.m.; “Solaris” screens at 8:10 p.m. $3 to $6. (323) 938-4038.

A tragic vision pervades all flamenco but the events inspiring the program “Remembering Maria Isabel” are especially painful. On Feb. 5, 17-year-old flamenco soloist and Pasadena City College student Maria Isabel Fernandez was found brutally stabbed to death in her home. Soon after, the Pasadena City Council approved offering $25,000 for information leading to the arrest and conviction of her killer, and proceeds from this performance will go to a fund aiding that search. Involving more than 30 California-based flamenco artists, the tribute is a collaborative creation of local flamenco royalty: Roberto Amaral, Juan Talavera, Linda Vega, Charo Monge and Yolanda Arroyo.

* “Remembering Maria Isabel,” Sexson Auditorium, Pasadena City College, 1570 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena, 4 p.m. $15 to $50. (323) 663-1525.
