I attended the opening screening of Egyptian film Yomeddine on Wednesday, April 3rd and it was a packed and excited audience.

During the American Documentary Film Festival in Palm Springs we took a short car trip towards Salton Sea (the largest lake in California, 890km²) It is a shallow, saline, endorheic rift lake located directly on the San Andreas Fault.
