MOVIES

“The Devil’s Claim” Though best known for his Academy Award-nominated performance in “The Bridge on the River Kwai” in 1957, the Japanese actor, producer and director Sessue Hayakawa was a star of the silent screen decades earlier.

EVENTS

“Spirituality and the Environment” The Southland’s premiere hub for marine research dives head-first into multiculturalism when it hosts spiritual leaders from the Christian, Islamic, Jewish, Buddhist and Native American faiths to discuss global problems. Aquarium of the Pacific CEO Jerry Schubel and the Rev. Larry Ginn moderate the spiritually diverse panel. Despite sounding like the set-up to a bad joke, the event promises to inspire guests with a show of interfaith cooperation.
