- The film Dolores, about legendary United Farm Workers activist Dolores Huerta, is playing at the Santa Cruz and Santa Clara county stops of the Reel Work Film Festival (see story, left), but not in Monterey County. So good save by the Unitarian Universalist Church, which is showing the film 7pm Thursday, April 19. 624-7404.
- The NOAA Office of National Marine Sanctuaries hosts a free screening 7-9pm Friday, April 20, of James Redford’s (yes, son of Robert) documentary Happening: A Clean Energy Revolution, about the “dawn of the clean-energy era.” It’s followed by a discussion with experts from Scout Clean Energy, CSUMB and Apex Solar. I feel like the “Happening” of the title is a direct appeal to factions still clinging to Industrial Revolution-era fossil fuel ways. Don’t you? 240-472-9892, seaberry.nachbar@noaa.gov.
- Built for Books is a four-event, tag-team celebration of learning and history by the P.G.

It starts with an Asilomar architecture walk and talk with State Parks interpreter Lisa Maldonado Bradford 10am Saturday, April 21. 648-5760, sbauer@cityofpacificgrove.org.
- I don’t have a total grasp of the Seaside Tactical Urbanism event – a CSUMB capstone project and part of the Sustainable City Year Program described as a parklet gathering with free games and family fun – happening 3-6pm Saturday, April 21, on Echo Avenue, but I like the way it sounds. 296-6911, scypseaside.weebly.com, @SeasideUrbanism.
- What We See: Photographs by Women Without Shelter, in which homeless women were given disposable cameras to document their daily lives, started as an exhibition at the Monterey Museum of Art one year ago. An abridged version is at the Monterey Peace and Justice Centerin Seaside. It opens with a reception 3-5pm Sunday, April 22. 899-7322.
- John Kern teaches horticulture at Monterey Peninsula College. He used to teach horticulture in prison. And he’s got stories. Show up 6-8pm Tuesday, April 24, at Marina Library’s Community Room and he’ll share. 883-7507.
- The Monterey County Free Libraries celebrates National DNA Day with presentations on genetics 2-3pm Saturday, April 21, at the Greenfield branch and 6-7pm Wednesday, April 25, at the Gonzales branch. 883-7573.
