Meet the people behind the terrific new documentary THE GIRLS IN THE BAND this weekend. Here’s the schedule. All screenings begin at 11 AM:

On Saturday, June 22, there will be a Q&A with Director Judy Chaikin at the PLAYHOUSE 7.
On Sunday, June 23, there will be a Q&A with Director Judy Chaikin and Executive Producer Mike Greene at the MONICA 4.
This Sunday from 9 AM to 4 PM the increasingly popular CicLAvia relocates to Wilshire Boulevard, turning what began as a path Henry Gaylord Wilshire cut through his barley field about 120 years ago into a car-free zone from Downtown to Fairfax Avenue for walking, biking, skating, loafing, shopping, goofing off and people watching. It’s a free event, no registration needed, and there is no starting or finish line. The forecast is lovely — partly cloudy, low 70’s — so give it a try!

With government surveillance in the news, IFC Films’ release of DIRTY WARS could not be more timely. The documentary follows investigative reporter Jeremy Scahill, author of Blackwater: The Rise of the World’s Most Mercenary Army, as he traces the rise of the Joint Special Operations Command, the most secret fighting force in U.S. history.
Reason.com just posted Scahill’s reactions to unfolding events.
