Professor Yanshuo Zhang of Pomona College is investigating how this Himalayan group carves out “creative belonging” through cultural practices within a globalizing China. Spanning literature, visual culture, and anthropology, this talk proposes a new scholarly paradigm for incorporating the Asia-Pacific into global studies of race and identity, drawing on her new book, “Creative Belonging: The Qiang and Multiethnic Imagination in Modern China.”

| Film: Vermiglio The lush and breathtaking beauty of the Alps, filmed with painterly grace under natural light from frigid winter to redemptive spring, provides the physical and emotional backdrop for Vermiglio, Maura Delpero’s visionary film, which won the Silver Lion at the 2024 Venice Film Festival. This singular portrait of a sprawling family, set in the small, mountainous village of Vermiglio during the waning days of WWII, follows a series of dramatic, consequential events after the arrival of a taciturn Sicilian soldier, who hides out in town after deserting the army.
While there, the soldier develops a romance with the family’s eldest daughter, Lucia. Vermiglio shows the lives of a provincial family in a remote village suspended in time by the customs of a fading era. Conjuring stories from her own family’s past, Delpero creates a deeply personal and human tale that recalls the great neorealist movement in Italian cinema, but through Lucia’s perspective Vermiglio feels distinct and novel. Italy’s Official Selection for the 2025 Academy Awards.

| Film & Discussion: Brazil UC San Diego Division of Extended Studies and the Burke Lectureship on Religion & Society, in partnership with Digital Gym Cinema, proudly announce the third season of the Burke Revival Film & Discussion Series. Returning to UC San Diego Park & Market’s Digital Gym Cinema, the acclaimed series continues its mission to explore profound ethical, spiritual, and societal questions through powerful works of cinema.
Each screening includes a guided post-film discussion led by Rev. Scott Young, spiritual advisor and film scholar, who curates the series and fosters community dialogue that connects the films to our shared contemporary struggles.
Synopsis: Brazil (1985) is a dystopian black comedy film directed by Terry Gilliam, starring Jonathan Pryce as a low-level bureaucrat who escapes his monotonous, nightmarish world through daydreams of being a hero, only to get caught in a web of bureaucracy and mistaken identity when he tries to help a woman from his dreams. Known for its unique visual style, dark humor, and anti-totalitarian themes, the film is a satirical look at a futuristic society choked by red tape, featuring a cast that includes Robert De Niro, Kim Greist, and Michael Palin. Brazil is a film that takes you for a wild ride intellectually, culturally, spiritually, morally, aesthetically. Brazil comments on a specific time, and all times. It is cinema at its most enthralling and simultaneously at its most revelatory. The cinematography, score, locations, set design, and flights of fancy combine to generate a cult classic. For our purposes, this provocative production points it blinding light on the authoritarian/totalitarian menace then and now. Enjoyable in a resistance act of critiquing the enslaving system.

| Music: Sonido De La Frontera Sonido De La Frontera is the combination of Soundsystem culture, hip hop production aesthetic, and the sounds of Latin America’s most prolific dance music: Cumbia. The result is a bass oriented, dance driven music with a sound unique to the border between San Diego, California and Tijuana, Mexico. This trio is made up of Karlos Paez, Mr. Henshaw, and DJ Unite. Karlos Paez is an energetic frontman, also known for his role as vocalist for San Diego’s premiere Latin Music project, The B-Side Players.
With his unique vocal styling and ability to deliver a magnetic performance, Karlos produces lyrics that seduce a dancer to cut loose, while inducing the spirit of both culture and rebellion. Mr. Henshaw is the producer for First Power Crew, and has produced many break records directed towards the avid turntablist. His sound is dark and heavy, with an emphasis on big drums and bass, as evident in his current projects Planet B and Satanic Planet. DJ Unite is a veteran DJ for Tribe of Kings Soundsystem as well as First Power Crew, who cut his teeth on dancefloors nationwide. Unite is well versed in keeping dances energetic, with a musical arsenal that spans for many genres. Sonido De La Frontera is a mixture of all the different sounds and culture found in the southernmost part of California, San Diego. It is cumbia music with a production approach similar to hip hop and electronic music.

| Dance: Tango Elite Step into a world where elegance, music, and passion collide. Tango Elite — The Show is a cinematic journey into the soul of Argentine tango. Inspired by the timeless glamour of Old Hollywood, the stage becomes a living film — where the spirits of legendary cinema characters seem to return through movement, music, and emotion. Under dramatic lights and sweeping orchestral sound, extraordinary dancers bring to life the many faces of tango — from its raw origins to its most refined expression. Every scene unfolds like a story, every step a line of poetry. At the heart of the experience is live music by the internationally acclaimed orchestra Tango Bardo, whose powerful sound drives the rhythm of the night and fills the theatre with the pulse of Buenos Aires. This production gathers a cast of artists recognized for their excellence, artistry, and legacy — performers who have shaped tango stages around the world. But Tango Elite is more than a performance. It is a homage to the productions that introduced tango to the world — from the legendary Tango Argentino of Claudio Segovia to the iconic shows Tango Pasión and Forever Tango. Those productions ignited a global love for tango. Tango Elite — The Show is the next chapter. Not a remake, but an evolution — honoring the roots while elevating the experience for a new generation of audiences. For tango lovers — and for anyone who loves great theatre — this is an evening designed to leave you breathless: elegant visuals, athletic precision, live orchestra power, and the unmistakable feeling that something historic is unfolding before your eyes. This production brings together extraordinary artists, a world-class orchestra, and a cinematic vision created for major stages. Experience tango the way it was meant to be seen.
