We’ll start the night dining alfresco at Loteria Taco bar in San Pedro Square Market with filmmaker, Rick Najera then join Rick at The Tech’s IMAX theatre for a special screening and discussion of the behind the scenes making of “Taco Shop”.
Rick Najera, original writer for In Living Color and MadTV works as a writer/producer/actor in films such as Nothing Like the Holidays with Alfred Molina, Debra Messing and John Leguizamo and in television with mentoring new talent for the CBS Diversity Showcase.
This comedy centers on a young man nicknamed Smokes played by Tyler Posey of Teen Wolf fame, who quits his taco shop job to open his own shop — but finds himself in an all-out war when a gourmet taco truck parks across the street. This indie film written by Rick Najera and Oskar Toruno also stars Carlos Alazraqui, Eric Roberts, Felipe Esparza, Laura Harring, Paula Jai Parker and Parvesh Cheena.
’Make Tacos – Not War‘ is the mantra of the movie.

Tijuana Jews
September 12th, 2012
Join us for a screening of this award winning documentary about the other immigration story – the Jewish diaspora on the Mexican American border, followed by Q&A with the film’s director Isaac Artenstein with a panel discussion and a very special guest performance by Ronstadt Generations.
Tijuana Jews is an authentic and living testimony set against conceptions and misconceptions of this near-mythic border city. Tijuana Jews illuminates the experiences of local pioneers who established the first Jewish temple in Tijuana and its subsequent congregations. The first-person narration takes the audience on an intimate journey that builds to a dynamic present that includes the transformation of Tijuana into the busiest border crossing in the world, and the migration of many Tijuana Jewish families to America. Tijuana Jews is a personal exploration of this unique community, which blended Jewish and Mexican cultures and customs in an unlikely place and time.

Join us for a tempting array of chocolates by Casa de Chocolates whose flavors and aromas will strengthen your belief of the Mayans that this is “Food of the Gods”. Then settle in to watch the 20th Anniversary of Como Agua Para Chocolate (Like Water for Chocolate) an award-winning film based on the best-selling novel by Laura Esquivel. This internationally popular romantic fable from Mexico centers on a young woman who discovers that her cooking has magical effects. The tale’s heroine, Tita, is the youngest of three daughters in a traditional Mexican family. Bound by tradition to remain unmarried while caring for her aging mother, Tita nevertheless falls in love with a handsome young man named Pedro. Pedro returns her affection, but he cannot overcome her family’s disapproval, and he instead marries Tita’s elder sister. The lovestruck young woman is brutally disappointed, and her sadness has such force that it infects her cooking: all who eat it her feel her heartbreak with the same intensity. This newly discovered power continues to manifest itself after the wedding, as Tita and Pedro, overcome by their denied love, embark on a secret affair.
