Against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement of the mid-1960s, a young San Francisco Chinatown resident armed with a 16mm camera and leftover film scraps from a local TV station, turned his lens onto his community. Totaling more than 20,000 feet of film (10 hours), Harry Chuck's exquisite unreleased footage has captured a divided community's struggles for self-determination. Chinatown Rising is a documentary film about the Asian-American Movement from the perspective of the young residents on the front lines of their historic neighborhood in transition. Through publicly challenging the conservative views of their elders, their demonstrations and protests of the 1960s-1980s rattled the once quiet streets during the community's shift in power. Forty-five years later, in intimate interviews these activists recall their roles and experiences in response to the need for social change. Discussion and Q&A with the film's Co-director, Josh Chuck, follows the excerpts.

Dr. Adam Frank of the University of Rochester will give a free, illustrated, non-technical lecture he calls:

"A Little Talk About Aliens: Techno-signatures and the New Science of Life in the Universe"

Online at YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/SVAstronomyLectures

[if you go to this address the evening of the talk you will see and be able to participate in the live event; we will also make a recording]

The talk is part of the Silicon Valley Astronomy Lecture Series (through Foothill College), now in its 21st year.

Today, the search for intelligent, civilization-building life in the Universe is undergoing a profound renewal. Thanks to the discovery of thousands of planets orbiting other stars, the introduction of new observing technologies, and increased support from both public and private sectors, a new science of searching for "techno-signatures" is emerging.

In this talk Dr. Frank will unpack this frontier area, discussing what counts as a techno-signature; how to be systematic in thinking about exo-civilizations and their evolution; what techno-signatures can tell us about our own future. He believes that within the next few decades we will likely have actual data relevant to the question life, perhaps even the intelligent kind, in the Universe.

Dr. Adam Frank is a leading expert on the final stages in the evolution for stars like the Sun, but his current work also focuses on life in the universe. His research group at the University of Rochester has developed advanced supercomputer tools for studying how stars form and how planets evolve. His most recent book is Light of the Stars: Alien Worlds and the Fate of the Earth, which won the 2019 Phi Beta Kappa Award for Science. He has written two other books, The Constant Fire: Beyond the Religion and Science Debate, and About Time: Cosmology and Culture at the Twilight of the Big Bang. He is the co-founder of the blog 13.8 on BigThink.com and an on-air commentator for NPR's All Things Considered. He has contributed pieces to the New York Times, NBC, The Washington Post and elsewhere, and served as the science consultant for Marvel's Doctor Strange. Frank's work in public outreach was recently honored via the American Physical Society's 2020 Joseph A. Burton Forum Award.

The lecture is co-sponsored by:

* The Foothill College Science, Tech, Engineering & Math Division

* The SETI Institute

* The Astronomical Society of the Pacific

* The University of California Observatories (including Lick Observatory).

Past lectures in the series can be found on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/SVAstronomyLectures

Writer and National Book Award nominee, Karen Tei Yamashita, will join Foothill to discuss her work, including the acclaimed I Hotel which chronicles the Asian American movement in San Francisco during the 60s and 70s. Comprised of stories that capture a wild array of perspectives, the novel uses equally wild literary innovation to imagine past social justice struggles--including battles to establish college Ethnic Studies programs, to protest war in Asia, and to fight against anti-Asian violence and aggression at home. Across her works, Yamashita exposes and satirizes past moments, and with rollicking humor and insight speaks loudly to our current reality. Yamashita's numerous works, including Tropic of Orange, Circle K Cycles, Letters to Memory, and most recently Sansei and Sensibility, are widely revered for their transnational focus and for bending the boundaries of genre in order to call critical attention to flows of labor, struggles for justice (visible and disappeared), and the act of storytelling.
