Ben Stern is a Holocaust survivor who endured nine concentration camps and two death marches, only to face the Nazis again 30 years later when the National Socialist Party of America planned its infamous march in Skokie, Illinois. Today, the 95-year-old Stern has an unusual roommate: the granddaughter of unrepentant German Nazis. The award-winning documentary film, “Near Normal Man,” a first-person account of the Skokie Nazi incident, will be shown along with the conversation, and Stern will share his unique insights on survival, hate and healing.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
