What's Happening at Pan Left

Pan Left is Movin' on Up!
The time has come for us to move on out and get a new studio for Tucson's favorite media collective. It's been a fun ride living in shared homes and a tiny guest house, but we've gotten bigger and stronger since then and the lion wants out of the cage. We're going to get a new habitat with enough space for screenings, production, performances, art, and anything else that helps wake the masses. We need to raise $10,000 to meet our goal of moving by July 1, 2010.

The timing couldn't be better. Right now in Tucson the arts are under attack. The budget crisis has hit our community hard, but we're not taking it lying down. We're ready to make our mark in a new space that shows this town that grassroots art is alive and not going anywhere. But we need your help. You know we make sure media is in the hands of the people that need it and not the people that buy it. Please donate today towards our move.

Esmeralda del Desierto Sneek Peak
Wednesday, January 27, 7:30 p.m.
The Loft Cinema
Admission: $5

Join us for a special "sneak peek" screening of the new Pan Left film Esmeralda del Desierto and meet artist/activist Oscar Jimenez in person! Followed by a panel discussion featuring the filmmakers and representatives from local immigration and transgender rights groups.

The screening at The Loft is supported in part by funds from the LGBT-Straight Alliance Fund, a special project of the Community Foundation for Southern Arizona.

New Work: ¡Viva! Tineo
In ¡Viva! Tineo, filmmaker Angela Soto captures one morning in the life of artist David Tineo as he paints "Princesa de Mi Corazon."

"I watched him take a blank canvas and, in front of my eyes, I saw him transform it into a woman with a story," says Soto. "The pinks and blues come to life as her eyes unveil sadness."

Tineo, 54, is struggling with the challenges of painting with macular degeneration. This 7-minute video shows how it doesn't stop him from doing what he loves most, creating.

"I hope the audience gets the sense of how Tineo manifests himself in his work, " adds Soto.

¡Viva! Tineo is scheduled to screen with Tineo's Show at the Tucson Museum of Art in February.

Pan Left City High Class Eligible for Arizona State School Tax Credit
For the past four years Pan Left has taught a video production and media literacy course at City High School in Tucson, Arizona. This highly successful course, As We See It, is eligible for the Arizona State School Tax Credit. This program allows you to take a direct credit up to $200 ($400 for married couples) on your Arizona State taxes--not just a deduction. This means every dollar you give to the program can be directly taken off of your taxes. It can be used if you itemize deductions or not and even if you do not have children. Money for schools and the arts is drying up in Arizona. We need to raise $500 from this program to be at the same funding level as last year. To make a donation, go to the City High School site and click on PayPal donate. On the last screen before complete the transaction, click on "please specify details in the box below." In the box write in "For the Pan Left Class."

For more information, call City High School at (520) 623-7223 ext. 221 and let them know you would like to donate to the Pan Left Class.
