This will be the last outreach event sponsored by the UCSD Arts Library.
On July 1, 2013 the Arts Library will cease to exist as an organizational entity due to the reorganization of the UCSD Libraries into a single UCSD Library.

San Diego—with its spectacular coastal vistas, wide sandy beaches, and perpetually balmy weather—has long been
a draw as a filming location for Hollywood motion picture studios. Not nearly as well known, however, is the fact that in the 1920s, La Jolla once boasted its own thriving community of filmmakers—the La Jolla Cinema League—which flourished in the waning days
of silent cinema.
The UC San Diego Library will be celebrating the films of the La Jolla Cinema League with a screening of several
films on Saturday, May 25 at 3 p.m. in the Geisel Library’s Seuss Room on the UC San Diego campus. The films will be accompanied by a live music score performed by the Library’s Scott Paulson and his Teeny-Tiny Pit Orchestra. In addition to the screening,
an exhibit, “Silent Era Filmmaking of the La Jolla Cinema League,” which sheds light on the filmmakers and their work, is currently on view through June 20 on the 1st floor, West wing of Geisel Library.
The events, which are free and open to the public, are sponsored by the UC San Diego Arts Library.
