September 16–18, 2022 

 

Bros has finally gotten its big screen debut – and there was “no place else” better suited than Palm Springs’ Cinema Diverse. The all-LGBTQ+ casted RomCom wistfully reminded me of my single life. Many of us can identify with wanting to find their  “Aaron”. That’s Luke Macfarlane’s character played cringingly at times by Billy Eichner “Bobby”. It’s out September 30th nationwide.  Quite a coup for our festival!

And now for something completely different: ALL MAN: The International Male Story is on the screen tonight, and over 100 more shorts and full length features are on the marquee this weekend and next. Cinema Diverse is a treasure and worth supporting!  You can even attend virtually.

I got my first Mpox shot this week at Oscar’s, and the registration process in place by Riverside County was more painful than the injection. It seemed to me like they were asking more info than when we were trying to get a COVID vaccine. No matter, shots in arms are happening at a more rapid pace as season ramps up.

Finally, AsiaSF Palm Springs has closed as we know it. With no fanfare nor announcement, the owners changed the signs out front literally in the middle of the night. It’s now going to be rented as an event space called “The Sonoran” we hear. The pandemic took its toll and we’re sad to see it go.

Enjoy this great weekend in #GreaterPalmSprings
