Kung Fu Panda @ City Heights Teralta Park

Together with the City Heights Business Association, a free film screening was held at the City Heights Teralta Park on Friday, March 4th. The film for this night was "Kung Fu Panda," a light, heart-warming movie to battle the cold that was slowly rolling in.

Connect SD team mates, Karla and Phuong are excited to watch the movie! :)

Even though this screening was postponed from last week due to questionable weather, we were delighted to see lots of families come out to enjoy the movie.

A large number of families came to enjoy the movie with us.

While our screening equipment was being set-up, our go-to man for our Reel Voices program, Mike Watson interviewed some of the residents of City Heights with the help of our lovely Spanish interpreter, Karla.

"The Voices of City Heights" project is coming along nicely. :)

Our next screening is on Friday, March 25th. It is also at City Heights Teralta Park and we will be showing "Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs!" Hope to see you there!

Our next film screening:

KUNG FU PANDA!
WHEN: Friday, March 4th
TIME: 6:00PM
WHERE: Teralta Park, City Heights (Orange Avenue and 40th Street)

We will be providing free popcorn!

Please also let people know about the "Voices of City Heights" booth that we will be setting up at the event. As a way for people to get to know their neighbors, SDAFF will be doing short interviews of members in the community (such as yourself) before the movie starts. We will edit these interviews and then show a couple of interviews at each of the future Teralta Park screenings before the feature film. This is a great opportunity for you to tell your story and get it documented, so please stop by! We will be giving out free children's books as well. Interviews will start at 5pm.

Hope to see you then!
