S1: It's time for Midday Edition on Kpbs. Today is our arts and Culture show. We'll tell you about the events you won't want to miss. I'm Jade Hindman. Here's to conversations that keep you informed , inspired and make you think. Celebrating 50 years with Casa Fest.
S2: It is being a good way to connect with the community , to also inform them , support them in other areas , so such as environmental justice , social justice. So all these , all these disciplines are connected and arts and culture is a very good way to do that. For , for example , we make this celebration for the DIA every year. We've been doing that for almost 20 years now , and people in the community expect this festival , this celebration.
S4: And I love writing from the point of view of of a dog like this who's sort of on untethered in every way. S5: So let's talk about this place , the setting , the park. It has some park infrastructure and developments. It's close to neighborhoods and close to the sea , but it's mostly really wild. And these wild animals band together to oversee it.S4: So don't know if you if you got that taste of it when you were there , but.
S4: Do you know that I ran into a reader in Chicago ? I was talking to , you know , mom and her daughter , and she said , I can't read the book until you tell me if anyone's going to die. And I said , Yes , I get it. I get it. I , I have killed dogs in books before. And this one. No , none of I didn't do that. I didn't go there. But there are moments where there's some suffering and which actually is is a little bit even harder to write in a way.
S6: Antonio , you are on the eve of a new San Diego Italian film festival. And one thing that you do every year is you pick a theme. So tell us what this year's theme is going to be. S6: And it's also an interesting film because there is also a layer of science fiction to it. Not a heavy dose , but there have been a few films at your festival that kind of have that same sort of feel , a sense of dealing with the future , but not in a totally farfetched , unrealistic way.
S6: And one of your short films also deals with Italian law and sheds a light on how people who are born there to foreign parents don't necessarily have a right to citizenship immediately.S7: That's another very bad law of Italy. But that's also a way to talk about Italy as as a country that is very traditional and we need to push to change it. La Italiana The shorter that you mentioned in Beth , it's called Italian. In Italian , a million of Italians are not still Italians.
