Special Cafe Cinema Event When: Friday May 10 @ 7 PM Feature: The Long Wait Format: BW Director: Victor Saville Year: 1954 Genre: Film Noir Photography: Franz Planer Starring: Anthony Quinn, Charles Coburn, Peggy Castle Country: US Runtime: 85 Min Cost: Free Directions 
More information about THE LONG WAIT, truly rare noir that will be posted here shortly, but for now, here is a brief summary: It doesn't get much better that this. Anthony Quinn is double-crossed by a hood who wants his woman. Quinn plays a character that suffered a severe head trauma that made him lose his long term memory... he can't remember who he is or anything from his past. This presents a huge problem as he is directed by the guy who wants his woman to pick up his reward in his old hometown. 
Quinn's character, Johnny McBride, heads for his hometown and learns that the reward is actually a bounty as he is wanted for MURDER. He is forced to defend himself with no knowledge of his past. The only way he can save himself is through past relationships with women that loved him. They hold the secret to his past! In Charles Bronson fashion, Quinn goes on a quest to find the true murderer and his true identity!

Cafe Cinema Event When: TBA Special Guest: William Park Film & Disc: WHAT IS FILM NOIR? Format: B/W Feature: CRISS CROSS Genre: Film Noir Director: Robert Siomack Year: 1949 Country: USA Cost: Free William Park, author of WHAT IS FILM NOIR? will be guest speaker for an evening of exploration of the dark side of human nature as it relates to the American genre, Film Noir. William Park, a retired professor from Sarah Lawrence College, received degrees In English Literature from Princeton and Columbia and has written on many subjects, including English and American poetry, rococo art—and cinema criticism. The film we have selected is rich in all the elements of classic film noir. Criss Cross (1949) started out as a Los Angeles police procedural, but director and film noir pioneer, Robert Siodmak, turned it into into a hyper sensual and stylized view at the results of obsession. It all centers around a robbery dreamed up by a femme fatale (Yvonne De Carlo), her obsessed ex-husband (Burt Lancaster) and brutalizing gangster (Dan Duryea). 
Event: Idyllwild Race 5 and 10 K When: Saturday, June 1 Time: 7:15am Website The annual Idyllwild 5 and 10K race happens this year on the first Satuday of June. Make a special weekend for a picturesque run or walk through scenic courses in the mountain village of Idyllwild. 
Event: Day of Mindfulness ~ Awakening the Heart When: Monday, May 13 Time: 9:30 am – 3pm. (lunch included) Registration: Call 951-659-2523 or email Abigail@spiritmountainretreat.org Suggested Donation: $35 Genre: Film Noir Facilitator: Esther Kennedy Website: Mindfulness practice helps one look at life with open and receptive awareness. It can bring a lovely clarity of how, as we cling to past and future, we miss the mystery of the present moment. As we sit mindfully our sorrows and fears often arise and with our breath we can soften these thoughts and feelings and come to understand our suffering. This brings us to acceptance which allows us to relax and open to the reality as it is. Acceptance is a courageous step in the process of transformation. When we live in this way, our heart expands and rests in the river of compassion and loving kindness. Share in a day of contemplative stillness, mindfulness practice, and soulful sharing. Lunch is enjoyed in silence.
