Norma
Orcí dejó de estar entre nosotros, pero al mismo tiempo sigue tan presente como nunca porque logró, en sus propias palabras, su misión en la vida: “capturar nuestro corazón”. Cofundadora junto con su esposo Héctor de la agencia publicitaria Orcí, una empresa familiar 100% de propiedad de minorías étnicas o raciales, Norma Orcí ha dejado una huella profunda en una industria que por décadas consideró al mercado latino como un plato de segunda mesa.
“Norma Orcí no fue sólo una veterana de la industria, una pionera o una líder publicitaria que rompió fronteras y destrozó techos… ¡era eso y mucho más! Norma fue una matriarca cuyo legado perdura en el trabajo exhibido en el Instituto Smithsonian, en los caminos que allanó para las latinas en la publicidad y en las agencias duraderas que ella y su familia construyeron”, destacó el Hispanic Marketing Council.
Norma relata en su biografía que cuando comenzó como redactora principiante en Noble & Asociados, la agencia de publicidad más grande de México en ese momento, lo más importante que aprendió fue que el objetivo último de cada anuncio era “construir y fortalecer la relación entre la marca y la audiencia”, describe.
Para lograr su meta, Norma descubrió que su trabajo era “encontrar la mejor manera de conectarme con la audiencia cómo la marca encajaba y mejoraba su vida”.
Y además se dio cuenta que para conseguir ese objetivo, debía trazar su propio camino creando su propia agencia en el oeste de Los Ángeles en 1986, un año emblemático porque en noviembre de ese año fue promulgada por el presidente Ronald Reagan la Ley de Reforma y Control (Simpson-Mazzoli) para regularizar a millones de migrantes indocumentados.
“Cuando mi esposo Héctor y yo comenzamos a abordar el mercado hispano de los Estados Unidos, expresamos esta filosofía como ‘Capturing Share of Heart®. Esto no solo guía a nuestro equipo creativo, sino que también ayuda a nuestros clientes a comprender su audiencia hispana y el importante papel que juegan las emociones y las relaciones en la selección y percepción de la marca”.
Ese año de 1986, el gobierno de Estados Unidos escogió a una pequeña agencia emergente para convencer a millones de migrantes de la necesidad de regularizar su situación migratoria y convertirse en miembros plenos de la sociedad estadounidense: la agencia Orcí.
Una de las imágenes más memorables de la del símbolo nacional, un águila calva con las alas abiertas abrazando a hombres y mujeres de diferentes orígenes raciales y étnicos. A juzgar por los resultados –más de 3 millones de migrantes aplicaron y 2.7 millones fueron aprobados—la campaña publicitaria fue un éxito.
Aunque en sus inicios la agencia estuvo dedicada exclusivamente al mercado latino, las tendencias demográficas han llevado a Orcí a transformarse en una
agencia multicultural, de la mano de las nuevas generaciones de la familia Orcí.
Además de cofundadora, Norma fungió como directora Creativa y Presidente de la agencia Orcí. Durante su gestión fue merecedora de innumerables premios y reconocimientos no sólo por su obra profesional sino filantrópica.
Pero quizás para ella su legado más valioso fue la semilla que dejó en las personas cuyo corazón tocó con su talento y humanismo, todo lo cual valida su filosofía de la vida: “Nadie recuerda lo que dices; ellos recuerdan cómo los hiciste sentir”.

“Norma Orcí was not just an industry veteran, a pioneer or an advertising leader who broke borders and shattered ceilings…she was that and much more! Norma was a matriarch whose legacy lives on in the work exhibited at the Smithsonian Institution, in the paths she paved for Latinas in advertising, and in the enduring agencies she and her family built,” noted the Hispanic Marketing Council.
Norma recounts in her biography that when she started as a beginner copywriter at Noble & Asociados, the largest advertising agency in Mexico at the time, the most important thing she learned was that the ultimate goal of each ad was to “build and strengthen the relationship between the brand and audience.”
Norma
Orcí is no longer with us, but at the same time she is still as present as ever because she achieved, in her own words, her mission in her life: “to capture our hearts”. Co-founder with her husband Héctor of the Orcí advertising agency, a family business 100% owned by ethnic or racial minorities, Norma Orcí has left a deep mark on an industry that for decades considered the Latino market as a second-table dish.
To achieve her goal, Norma discovered that her job was to "find the best way to connect with the audience, how the brand fit and improved her life."
And she also realized that to achieve that goal, she had to chart her own path by creating her own agency in West Los Angeles in 1986, an emblematic year because in November of that year President Ronald Reagan signed the Reform Act and Control (Simpson-Mazzoli Act) to regularize millions of undocumented migrants.
“When my husband Hector and I began addressing the US Hispanic market, we expressed this philosophy as 'Capturing Share of Heart®’. This not only guides our creative team, but also helps our clients understand their Hispanic audience and the important role emotions and relationships play in brand selection and perception.”
That year of 1986, the United States government chose a small emerging agency to convince millions of migrants of the need to regularize their immigration status and become full members of American society: the Orcí agency.
One of the most memorable images was that of the national symbol, a bald eagle with open wings embracing men and women of different racial and ethnic backgrounds. Judging by the results – more than 3 million migrants applied and 2.7 million were approved – the publicity campaign was a success.
Although in its beginnings the agency was dedicated exclusively to the Latin market, demographic trends have led Orcí to transform into a multicultural agency, hand in hand with the new generations of the Orcí family.
In addition to being a co-founder, Norma served as Creative Director and President of the Orcí agency. During her management, she was deserving of innumerable awards and recognitions not only for her professional work but also for her philanthropic work.
But perhaps for her, her most valuable legacy was the seed she left in the people whose hearts she touched with her talent and humanity, all of which validates her philosophy of life: “No one remembers what you say; they remember how you made them feel.”

DRONES, TACOS, AND BILLBOARDS: HOW CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES ARE TRYING TO GET STUDENTS BACK TO SCHOOL
After a historic drop in enrollment during the COVID-19 pandemic, California community colleges are ramping up marketing efforts, spending more than $40 million in state and federal dollars to lure students back. Is it working?
Adam Echelman CalMatters
San Diego is known for many things: surfing at La Jolla, the giant pandas at the zoo, and great Mexican food, to name a few.
Now, there’s a new item on your must-see list. On billboards, buses, and through social media posts starting this week, the city’s community college district is placing ads featuring iconic San Diego images, but scrawled over words like “zoo” and “surfing” are new ones: “community colleges,” “career training” and “affordable education.” In one ad, a picture of carne asada and corn tortillas is paired with a question: “Are you ready to taco-bout your future?”
The San Diego Community College District isn’t the only one vying for attention. Los Rios Community College District, which encompasses four community colleges in Sacramento County, put on a drone light display at a Sacramento Republic soccer game last fall with words like “Low Cost,” “Local Careers” and “Start Your Future” suddenly appearing in blue lights across the night sky. The show, along with other signs and marketing efforts at the soccer stadium, cost the district $160,000.
These eye-catching stunts are part of a new marketing push to lure California community college students back to campuses after enrollment dropped to a 30-year low during the COVID-19 pandemic. Statewide, community colleges lost nearly 20% of students between 2019 and 2021, according to
a memo from the California Community College Chancellor’s Office.
During the pandemic, California’s community colleges received over a billion dollars in state and federal pandemic relief funds. When enrollment dropped, community colleges and districts started using part of that money to

find creative ways to bring students back.
The California Community College Chancellor’s Office has spent more than $40 million in marketing since 2021, more than double what the office spent in the two years prior.
“We may never have this kind of influx of resources again,” said Gabe Ross, chief strategy officer for Los Rios Community College District.
Still, what community colleges across the country spend on marketing is a small amount compared to other colleges and universities.
“On a per-student basis, for-profit colleges outspend nonprofits (private colleges) more than 4 to 1 and outspend public institutions more than 20 to 1 — a pattern that has held steady over time,” wrote a 2020 report from the Brooking’s Institute. Community colleges spend less on average per-student than fouryear institutions too, according to the same report.
California colleges say their advertising campaigns lead to more awareness, and they point to increased clicks and website traffic as evidence. What they don’t know is whether students who see a marketing campaign and click on a college website actually enroll.

Statewide, community colleges lost nearly 20% of students between 2019 and 2021.
Ross said his district expects to see a near 10% enrollment increase this fall after losing more than 18% of its students during the pandemic.
But he can’t say for sure whether the enrollment trends are a direct result of the district’s marketing blitz, which cost about $840,000 in each of the last two years. Before the pandemic, the marketing team spent between $200,000 and $600,000 per year, Ross said.
“People don’t make their college choices in the same way they decide where to have dinner tonight. It’s not just driving by a billboard. It’s a long game,” he said.
In San Diego, the pun-filled campaign is geared toward older and working students, who left the community college system at the highest rate. The idea came out of conversations with current students, who said they would respond best to an advertising campaign that was fun and local, according to Jack Beresford, district spokesperson.
“It’s very different from what we’ve done before,” he said with a laugh.
‘I can go to college’
With an influx of money, the chancellor’s office launched a new campaign — called “I can go to college” — that it promoted on billboards at bus stations, over highways and at seven airports throughout California. TV commercials are planned for both men’s and women’s World Cup matches, and at local and community events around the state, there’s plenty of new swag, like water bottles and drawstring bags.
Last fall, enrollment numbers increased for the first time since the pandemic began, and Paul Feist, vice chancellor of communications, said the final enrollment estimates for spring 2023 look even stronger.
“We’re not saying marketing is responsible for all of that,” Feist said. With 116 colleges spread out across the state, many of which conduct their own marketing, “it’s very hard to track,” he said.
The California Community College Chancellor’s Office has spent more than $40 million in marketing since 2021, more than double what the office spent in the two years prior.
The website for the “I can go to college” marketing campaign has garnered over 335 million page views, including 115,000 clicks on the “Enroll Now” button that redirects to a college application. However, the chancellor’s office can’t currently tell whether a student who clicks on the button actually completes an application. Feist said it’s something that the office is looking into.
He said the money has also allowed the state chancellor’s office to expand its outreach, translating materials in languages including Vietnamese and Korean and targeting messages to certain communities. Instead of “I can go to college,” for example, the taglines on billboards near the state’s Native American reservations say: “I can give back to my tribe.”
Calls, texts and emails follow funding
While billboards and drone displays are easy to see, they only reflect a fraction of the marketing and outreach expenditures that community colleges have made to boost enrollment. Along with the state’s one-time grants for retention and enrollment, individual col-
lege districts have also allocated other COVID-19 relief money to call and text potential students, hire outreach staff, and run in-person events at high schools, food banks and other gathering places.
These individualized approaches tend to have a clearer impact on enrollment, said Diane Walleser, acting CEO at Interact Communications, which has worked with nearly half the state’s community colleges and districts on marketing and recruitment.
When meeting with colleges, Walleser and her team prefer to focus on the students who have already shown interest: those who apply to college but never show up, drop out after starting school, or enrolled in one semester but have yet to enroll in the subsequent one.
Billboards are a “waste of money,” she said, especially if they are used in the wrong location or as the only recruitment method.
Using one of the pandemic relief grants available, the Los Rios Community College District hired 50 people to canvas the county and recruit students. The district also launched a comprehensive call center to answer questions from students and to reach out directly to those who showed an intent to enroll but never did. Those efforts complement the drones and billboards, Ross said. His goal is to “diversify” marketing strategies since no one tool is “singularly effective.”
Many other colleges have created similar centers in the past few years, using a combination of calls, texts and emails to try to keep students in school.
But amidst the flurry of new funding and marketing efforts, Oleg Bespalov is worried that some well-intentioned interventions may have little or no impact. Bespalov, who is Moorpark College’s dean of institutional effectiveness, conducted an experiment with his school’s call center and found that people who did not receive a call were just as likely to enroll as those who did.
However, when the college tried texting people and letting them respond to questions via text, there was a statistically significant difference in the number of people who enrolled as a result.
“I would not say close down all your call centers,” Bespalov said. “The largest thing I’m advocating for is the randomized control trials because otherwise you won’t really know if it works.”
He said certain other factors — like the turnaround time for when a student expresses interest in a college and when that student receives a call or text from that institution — can also affect the likelihood of enrollment.
It’s a practice that some for-profit colleges have already perfected. “The for-profits not only market more,” Walleser said. “They do next-day enrollment. They are really good on the servicing side of it. They get back to you within five or 10 minutes.”
She said for-profit colleges offer many flexible courses and make it easy to apply and enroll, which is especially appealing to older and working adults.
“That’s the kind of standard that community colleges have to meet up with, and it’s tough because they have limited resources.”

DRONES, TACOS Y PUBLICIDAD: ASÍ ES COMO LOS COLEGIOS COMUNITARIOS DE CALIFORNIA BUSCAN QUE LOS ESTUDIANTES REGRESEN A CLASES
Después de una caída histórica en la inscripción durante la pandemia de COVID-19, los colegios comunitarios de California están intensificando los esfuerzos de mercadeo y publicidad, gastando más de $40 millones en dólares estatales y federales para atraer a los estudiantes de regreso. ¿Está funcionando la estrategia?
Adam Echelman CalMatters
San Diego es conocido por muchas cosas: surfear en las playas de la ciudad de La Jolla, así como por los pandas gigantes en el zoológico y la excelente comida mexicana, por nombrar algunas.
Ahora, hay un nuevo elemento en su lista de visitas obligadas. En vallas publicitarias, autobuses y publicaciones en las redes sociales a partir de esta semana, el distrito de colegios comunitarios de la ciudad está colocando anuncios con imágenes icónicas de San Diego, pero garabateadas sobre palabras como “zoológico” y “surf” hay otras nuevas: “colegios comunitarios”, “formación profesional” y “educación asequible”. En un anuncio, una imagen de carne asada y tortillas de maíz se combina con una pregunta: “¿ Estás listo para’ taco-about’ sobre tu futuro?”, en un juego de palabras usando ‘taco’ en lugar de la palabra en inglés ‘talk’ (hablar).
El Distrito de Colegios Co-
munitarios de San Diego no es el único que compite por atención. El Distrito de Colegios Comunitarios de Los Ríos, que abarca cuatro colegios comunitarios en el condado de Sacramento, realizó una exhibición usando luces de drones en un partido de fútbol de Sacramento Republic el otoño pasado con palabras como “A bajo costo”, “Carreras locales” y “Comience su futuro” que aparecen repentinamente en luces azules en el cielo nocturno. El espectáculo, junto con otros letreros y esfuerzos de marketing en el estadio de fútbol, le costó al distrito $160,000.
Estas acrobacias llamativas son parte de un nuevo impulso de marketing para atraer a los estudiantes de colegios comunitarios de California de regreso a los campus después de que la inscripción cayó a un mínimo de 30 años durante la pandemia de COVID-19. En todo el estado, los colegios comunitarios perdieron casi el 20% de los estudiantes entre 2019 y 2021, según un memorando de la Oficina del Rector de los Colegios Comunitarios de Califor-
nia.
Durante la pandemia, los colegios comunitarios de California recibieron más de mil millones de dólares en fondos estatales y federales de ayuda. Cuando disminuyó la inscripción, los colegios comunitarios y los distritos comenzaron a usar parte de ese dinero para encontrar formas creativas de traer de vuelta a los estudiantes.
La Oficina del Rector del Colegio Comunitario de California ha gastado más de $40 millones en marketing desde 2021, más del doble de lo que gastó la oficina en los dos años anteriores.
“Es posible que nunca más tengamos este tipo de afluencia de recursos”, dijo Gabe Ross, director de estrategia del Distrito de Colegios Comunitarios de Los Ríos.
Aun así, lo que los colegios comunitarios de todo el país gastan en marketing es una cantidad pequeña en comparación con otros colegios y universidades.

“Por estudiante, las universidades con fines de lucro gastan más que las organizaciones sin fines de lucro (universidades privadas) en más de 4 a 1 y gastan más que las instituciones públicas en más de 20 a 1, un patrón que se ha mantenido estable con el tiempo”, escribió un informe de 2020 del Instituto Brooking. Los colegios comunitarios también gastan menos en promedio por estudiante que las instituciones de cuatro años, según el mismo informe.
Las universidades de California dicen que sus campañas publicitarias conducen a una mayor conciencia y señalan un aumento de los ‘clics’ y el tráfico del sitio web como evidencia. Lo que no saben es si los estudiantes que ven una campaña de marketing y hacen ‘clic’ en el sitio web de una universidad realmente se inscriben.
En todo el estado, los colegios comunitarios perdieron casi el 20% de los estudiantes entre 2019 y 2021.
Ross dijo que su distrito espera ver un aumento de matrícula cercano al 10% este otoño después de perder más del 18% de sus estudiantes durante la pandemia.
Pero no puede decir con certeza si las tendencias de inscripción son un resultado directo de la campaña de mercadeo del distrito, que costó alrededor de $840,000 en cada uno de los últimos dos años. Antes de la pandemia, el equipo de marketing gastaba entre $200,000 y $600,000 por año, dijo Ross.
“La gente no elige sus universidades de la misma manera que decide dónde cenar esta noche. No se trata simplemente de pasar por delante de una valla publicitaria. Es un asunto más complejo”, dijo.
En San Diego, la campaña llena de juegos de palabras está dirigida a los estudiantes mayores y que trabajan, quienes abandonaron el sistema de colegios comunitarios con la tasa más alta. La idea surgió de conversaciones con estudiantes actuales, quienes dijeron que responderían mejor a una campaña publicitaria que fuera divertida y local, según Jack Beresford, vocero del distrito.
“Es muy diferente de lo que hemos hecho antes”, dijo con una sonrisa.
‘Puedo ir a la universidad’
Con una afluencia de dinero, la oficina del rector lanzó una nueva campaña —llamada “Puedo ir a la universidad”— que promocionó en vallas publicitarias en estaciones de autobuses, carreteras y siete aeropuertos en todo California. Se planean comerciales de televisión para los partidos de la Copa Mundial masculina y femenina, y en eventos locales y comunitarios en todo el estado, hay muchos artículos nuevos, como botellas de agua y bolsos con cordón.
El otoño pasado, el número de inscripciones aumentó por primera vez desde que comenzó la pandemia, y Paul Feist, vicecanciller de comunicaciones, dijo que las estimaciones finales de inscripción para la primavera de 2023 parecen aún más sólidas.
“No estamos diciendo que el marketing sea responsable de todo eso”, dijo Feist. Con 116 universidades repartidas por todo el estado, muchas de las cuales realizan su propio marketing, “es muy difícil de rastrear”, agregó.
La Oficina del Rector de los Colegios Comunitarios de California ha gastado más de $40 millones en marketing desde 2021, más del doble de lo que gastó la oficina en los dos años anteriores.
El sitio web de la campaña de marketing ‘Puedo ir a la universidad’ ha obtenido más de 335 millones de visitas a la página, incluidos 115,000 clics en el botón “Inscribirse ahora” que redirige a una solicitud de ingreso a la universidad. Sin embargo, la oficina del rector actualmente no puede determinar si un estudiante que hace clic en el botón realmente completa una solicitud. Feist dijo que es algo que la oficina está investigando.
Dijo que el dinero también ha permitido que la oficina del rector estatal amplíe su alcance, traduciendo materiales en idiomas que incluyen vietnamita y coreano y dirigiendo mensajes a ciertas comunidades. En lugar de “Puedo ir a la universidad”, por ejemplo, los lemas en las vallas publicitarias cerca de las reservas de nativos americanos del estado dicen: “Puedo retribuir a mi tribu”.
Llamadas, mensajes de texto y correos electrónicos
Si bien las vallas publicitarias y las luces de drones son fáciles de ver, solo reflejan una fracción de los gastos de marketing y divulgación que los colegios comunitarios han realizado para aumentar la inscripción. Junto con las subvenciones únicas del estado para retención e inscripción, los distritos universitarios individuales también han asignado otro dinero de ayuda por COVID-19 para llamar y enviar mensajes de texto a estudiantes potenciales, contratar personal de extensión y realizar eventos en persona en escuelas secundarias, bancos de alimentos y otros lugares de reunión.
Estos enfoques individualizados tienden a tener un impacto más claro en la inscripción, dijo Diane Walleser, directora ejecutiva interina de Interact Communications, que ha trabajado con casi la mitad de los colegios comunitarios y distritos del estado en marketing y reclutamiento.
Cuando se reúnen con universidades, Walleser y su equipo prefieren concentrarse en los estudiantes que
ya han mostrado interés: aquellos que solicitan ingreso a la universidad pero nunca se presentan, abandonan los estudios después de comenzar la escuela o se inscribieron en un semestre pero aún no se inscribieron en el siguiente. uno.
Las vallas publicitarias son una “pérdida de dinero”, dijo, especialmente si se usan en el lugar equivocado o como el único método de reclutamiento.
Utilizando una de las subvenciones de ayuda para la pandemia disponibles, el Distrito de Colegios Comunitarios de Los Ríos contrató a 50 personas para recorrer el condado y reclutar estudiantes. El distrito también lanzó un centro de llamadas integral para responder las preguntas de los estudiantes y comunicarse directamente con aquellos que mostraron la intención de inscribirse pero nunca lo hicieron. Esos esfuerzos complementan a los drones y las vallas publicitarias, dijo Ross. Su objetivo es “diversificar” las estrategias de marketing ya que ninguna herramienta es “singularmente efectiva”.
Muchas otras universidades han creado centros similares en los últimos años, utilizando una combinación de llamadas, mensajes de texto y correos electrónicos para tratar de mantener a los estudiantes en la escuela.
Pero en medio de la oleada de nuevos esfuerzos de financiación y marketing, a Oleg Bespalov le preocupa que algunas intervenciones bien intencionadas puedan tener poco o ningún impacto. Bespalov, decano de eficacia institucional de Moorpark College, realizó un experimento con el centro de llamadas de su escuela y descubrió que las personas que no recibían una llamada tenían las mismas probabilidades de inscribirse que las que sí.
Sin embargo, cuando la universidad intentó enviar mensajes de texto a las personas y permitirles responder preguntas a través de mensajes de texto, hubo una diferencia estadísticamente significativa en la cantidad de personas que se inscribieron como resultado.
“No diría que cierren todos sus centros de llamadas”, dijo Bespalov. “Lo más importante por lo que abogo son los ensayos controlados aleatorios porque, de lo contrario, no sabrá realmente si funciona”.
Dijo que otros factores, como el tiempo de respuesta cuando un estudiante expresa interés en una universidad y cuando ese estudiante recibe una llamada o un mensaje de texto de esa institución, también pueden afectar la probabilidad de inscripción.
Es una práctica que algunas universidades con fines de lucro ya han perfeccionado. “Las empresas con fines de lucro no solo comercializan más”, dijo Walleser. “Hacen la inscripción al día siguiente. Son realmente buenos en el lado del servicio. Te responden en cinco o 10 minutos”.
Ella dijo que las universidades con fines de lucro ofrecen muchos cursos flexibles y facilitan la solicitud y la inscripción, lo que es especialmente atractivo para los adultos mayores y los que trabajan.
“Ese es el tipo de estándar que deben cumplir los colegios comunitarios, y es difícil porque tienen recursos limitados”.

TO TALK ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH
Dr. Frederick Kuo, M.D., Chief Medical Officer, UnitedHealthcare of California
Whenit comes to your child’s overall health, well-child visits are the perfect time to ensure your child’s holistic development is progressing as it should. With back-to-school season ready to begin, now is the perfect time to discuss your child’s physical and mental health with their pediatrician or your family doctor.
What is a well-child visit?
A well-child visit, sometimes referred to as a physical, is an annual appointment in which your child’s physician assesses their growth and development. These checkups typically consist of:
• Physical examination, including assessing their growth and development
• Routine immunizations to prevent diseases like measles, polio, hepatitis B, chickenpox, whooping cough, and other serious diseases.
• Hearing and vision tests
• An opportune time to have your child’s sports physical forms signed and address any sports-related concerns such as prior injuries
• And a mental health screening
When do I schedule a well-child visit?
Don’t wait, schedule the appointment today as your pediatrician’s schedule will fill up fast in August and September.
For younger children, these appointments typically occur right after their birthday, but as they age, they may begin seeing their doctor closer to the start of the school year, as older kids and teenagers may also need to have physical forms in order to participate in sports.
Additionally, receiving routine immunizations helps your child’s immune system build the antibodies to help protect them from contagious diseases such as Influenza, Mumps, Measles, and Tetanus. Your child’s doctor will know which immunizations are appropriate for their age, and don’t be afraid to ask questions. You can refer to the full list of child and adolescent vaccines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control.
Why discuss mental health at your next well-child visit?
Just as children can learn to understand medical problems that affect their bodies – like how asthma can make their lungs tighten and it can be helpful to use an inhaler to help them breathe more easily -parents and doctors can help them understand that mental health concerns are just
as important has physical concerns. Here’s why that’s so important:
1. There has been a sharp increase in adolescent mental health issues in recent years. It’s no secret that the COVID-19 pandemic was a source of stress for many. According to a 2022 set of data collected by the CDC, more than 37% of high school students reported experiencing poor mental health during the pandemic, with an additional 44% reporting they felt persistently sad or hopeless over the past year.
2. Many young people don’t receive treatment. Talking about mental health can seem daunting or confusing, especially for kids. For example, Mental Health America reports that about 60% of youth with major depression don’t receive treatment, even in states with higher access to mental health services.
3. If left untreated, adolescent mental health issues can carry into adulthood. Mental health during adolescence has a greater bearing on one’s adult life than many people realize. CDC data on children’s mental health show that diagnoses of ADHD, anxiety, depression, and other mental disorders become increasingly prevalent with age, and behavioral problems are more common among adolescents aged 6-11 than older or younger children.
School is a challenging enough environment as it is, so be sure to talk to your child’s doctor about changes in mood, behavior, academic performance or disposition to better ensure their needs are addressed and their concerns are heard, giving your child the skills to excel both inside and outside the classroom.
Most health insurance plans cover wellchild visits. If you have any questions, call the number on your insurance card for more information. To learn more about preventive care for your child or to download a well-child visit checklist, visit UHC.com.
Dr. Frederick Kuo, director médico, UnitedHealthcare of California
Cuandose trata de la salud general de su hijo, las consultas de niño sano son el momento perfecto para garantizar que el desarrollo holístico de su hijo avance como corresponde. Ahora que la temporada de regreso a la escuela está por empezar, es el momento perfecto para hablar sobre la salud física y mental de su hijo con el pediatra o el médico de cabecera.
¿Qué es una consulta de niño sano?
Una consulta de niño sano, a veces llamada examen físico, es una cita anual en la que el médico de su hijo evalúa el crecimiento y el desarrollo. Estas consultas suelen constar de lo siguiente:
• Examen físico, el cual incluye la evaluación de su crecimiento y desarrollo. Vacunaciones de rutina para prevenir enfermedades como el sarampión, la poliomielitis, la hepatitis B, la varicela, la tos convulsa y otras enfermedades graves.
• Pruebas de audición y vista.
• Un momento oportuno para que se firmen los formularios de examen físico deportivo de su hijo y abordar las dudas relacionadas con los deportes, como las lesiones previas.
Un análisis de salud mental.
¿Cuándo programo una consulta de niño sano?
No espere más, programe la cita hoy mismo, ya que la agenda de su pediatra se llenará muy rápido en agosto y septiembre.
Para los niños más chicos, estas citas suelen realizarse justo después de sus cumpleaños, pero, a medida que crecen, pueden empezar a ver al médico más cerca del inicio del año escolar, porque los niños más grandes y los adolescentes quizás necesiten tener formularios de examen físico para participar en deportes.
Además, recibir vacunaciones de rutina ayuda al sistema inmunitario de su hijo a desarrollar los anticuerpos necesarios para protegerlo de las enfermedades contagiosas, como la gripe, las paperas, el sarampión y el tétanos. El médico de su hijo sabrá qué vacunas son adecuadas para su edad. No dude en hacer preguntas. Puede consultar la lista completa de vacunas para niños y adolescentes recomendadas por los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC).
¿Por qué debe hablar sobre la salud mental en la próxima consulta de niño sano?
Así como los niños pueden aprender a entender los problemas médicos que afectan su cuerpo (por ejemplo, cómo el asma puede hacer que sus pulmones se tensen y cómo puede ayudarlos el uso de un inhalador para respirar mejor), los padres y médicos pueden ayudarlos a entender que la salud mental es igual de importante que la salud física, por los siguientes motivos:
1. En los últimos años, aumentaron mucho los casos de problemas mentales en los adolescentes. No es ningún secreto que la pandemia de COVID-19 fue una fuente de estrés para muchas personas. Según un conjunto de datos de 2022 recopilados por los CDC, más del 37 % de los estudiantes de secundaria afirmó tener mala salud mental durante la pandemia, y otro 44 % afirmó sentirse triste o desesperado durante el año pasado.
2. Muchos jóvenes no reciben tratamiento. Hablar sobre la salud mental puede ser difícil o confuso, especialmente para los niños. Por ejemplo, Mental Health America informa que un 60 % de los jóvenes con depresión grave no reciben tratamiento, incluso en los estados con mejor acceso a servicios de salud mental.
3. Si no se los trata, los problemas mentales adolescentes pueden continuar durante la adultez. La salud mental durante la adolescencia impacta más en la vida adulta que lo que mucha gente cree. Los datos de los CDC sobre la salud mental de los niños demuestra que los diagnósticos de TDAH, ansiedad, depresión y otros trastornos mentales se vuelven más prevalentes con la edad, y los problemas conductuales son más comunes en los jóvenes de 6 a 11 años de edad que en los jóvenes más chicos o más grandes.
La escuela ya es un entorno bastante complicado, así que asegúrese de hablar con el médico de su hijo sobre los cambios de ánimo, comportamiento, rendimiento académico o disposición para garantizar que se aborden sus necesidades y se escuchen sus dudas, a fin de que su hijo tenga las habilidades para destacarse dentro y fuera del aula.

TEXAS SOUTHERN BORDER ‘LIKE A WAR ZONE’
Peter White Ethnic Media Services
Theborder at Eagle Pass, Texas, has razor wire and a 1000-foot line of big round buoys. The floating barriers are meant to deter migrants looking to cross from the city of Piedras Negras, on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande River.
For journalist Manuel Ortiz, they are part of what he says is a more militarized atmosphere along this stretch of the U.S.-Mexico border.
“This is the first time that it seems to me like a war zone,” says Ortiz, founder of Peninsula 360 Press, who has covered the border off and on for decades. Driving southwest from San Antonio, he describes helicopters overhead and military vehicles along the road. Last week, state troopers found a body stuck to one of the border buoys.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott began Operation Lone Star in March 2021 in response to rising border crossings. In May of that same year, Abbott issued a disaster declaration, later sending National Guard troops to the border. Two state agencies, the Texas Department of Public Safety and the Texas Military Department are in charge of the operation. When 16,000 migrants suddenly arrived in Del Rio in November 2021, Abbott sent 10,000 guardsmen to the border in response. Del Rio is about 55 miles north of Eagle Pass.
“The only winners from Abbott’s actions seem to be the human traffickers,” said Ortiz during an EMS media briefing. Speaking to migrants, he noted human smugglers, called coyotes, used to charge $500/per person to get across the border. The price has gone up to $1500, he says, after the floating barriers were installed.
On the other side of the border, Ortiz noted Mexican authorities appear to be “doing nothing against the smugglers,” adding there are unverified rumors that local officials there may in fact be involved in the trafficking.
Manuel Ortiz, founder of Peninsula 360 Press, reports that even those in Texas who are in favor of strong border security find Governor Abbot’s new policies too extreme.
A ‘glitchy app’
The Trump administration essentially stopped processing asylum claims along the US southern border during the pandemic by invoking Title 42, a public health order that allowed for the immediate expulsion of migrants.
That program ended in May. The Biden Administration subsequently announced that would-be asylum seekers would now be required to first schedule an appoint with Customs and Border Protection through a mobile app prior to their arrival at the border.
Gianna Borroto is the head litigator with the American Immigration Council (AIC). It’s an impossible situation,” she says, describing the CBP One app as a “cruel measure” designed to limit who can seek asylum in this country.
AIC and its partners filed a class action lawsuit July 27 in the district court for the Southern District of California over the CBP One app. The lawsuit challenges the Biden administration’s policy of turning away asylum seekers at ports of entry who didn’t make an appointment. The suit names ten plaintiffs who claim they couldn’t.
Besides a smartphone you need internet access to use the app. Many migrants are living in encampments without electricity or water, much less internet service. Borroto says many migrants don’t have money to buy minutes for their phones because they need what they have to buy food.
She also cited a number of problems with the CBP One app. One man couldn’t get tech support, just lines of code; one woman tried every day for months but couldn’t get an appointment; the app has just three languages, but border migrants speak 20 or more, so unless they speak English, Spanish, or Creole, it’s useless; the app doesn’t upgrade easily and freezes a lot.
“Access to asylum simply cannot be restricted to a glitchy smart phone app lottery,” Borroto says. A recent ruling in a similar 2017 case gives her hope. A previous version of a turn back policy that limited access to asylum at the border was declared unlawful and in violation of the U.S. Constitution.
Borroto says AIC filed suit to protect the fundamental right to seek asylum which is enshrined both in US and international law.
Gianna Borroto, Senior Litigation Attorney at the American Immigration Council, explains some of the many problems with the U.S. Custom and Border Protection agency’s new CPB One app, which all asylum seekers are required to use to begin the asylum process.
A history of racism
Professor and author Cal Jillson is a recognized authority on Texas politics and the politics of the US southern border. “The current situation at the border has been replayed many times over the course of American history,” Jillson said.
America has always been racist, and that racism has long informed attitudes toward migration, he said.
“Benjamin Franklin said terrible things about the German immigrants to Pennsylvania in the 1750s. The Irish were treated badly in the 1840s and 1850s. Asians were excluded completely from the 1880s well into the 1950s,” Jillson said.
He noted that in the 19th Century, the thinking of the dominant white majority in the country was effectively ‘If you’re white, y’all come’.
“But even in the early 20th Century, when the American economy was strong and labor was needed, there was a welcoming of people across the border from Mexico into the United States on the presumption that they would work cheap and go home when the work was completed.”
Cal Jillson, Professor of Political Science at Southern Methodist University and author of several books including the upcoming “Race, Ethnicity, and American Decline,” gives his perspective on why Texas Governor Greg Abbott has implemented such punishing antiimmigration measure on the Texas southern border. Beginning in the 1950s, migrant workers started staying year-round.
“I see the current events at the border as part of an American—particularly white American—ambivalence about immigration, specifically of immigration of nonwhite people… and it has ever been thus,” he said. When it comes to immigration as a political issue, Jillson believes Republicans have the advantage. Their message is simple: we oppose illegal immigration, and we are worried about legal immigration. “That’s a kind of bumper sticker slogan,” he said.
Democrats, meanwhile, are hoping immigration will not become the driving issue in the upcoming presidential race. They have a tougher sell, said Jillson, with a more complex coalition, some of who “recognize that the Republican charge that Democrats stand for open borders is a political killer.”
It’s Republicans who are setting closed border policies, Jillson noted, and it’s likely to remain that way for some time.

LA FRONTERA SUR DE TEXAS ‘PARECE UNA ZONA DE GUERRA’
Peter White Ethnic Media Services
Lafrontera de Eagle Pass, Texas, tiene alambre de espino y una línea de 30 metros (1000 pies) de grandes boyas redondas. Las barreras flotantes pretenden disuadir a los inmigrantes que intentan cruzar desde la ciudad de Piedras Negras, en el lado mexicano del río Grande.
Para el periodista Manuel Ortiz, forman parte de lo que, según él, es un ambiente más militarizado a lo largo de este tramo de la frontera entre Estados Unidos y México.
“Es la primera vez que me parece una zona de guerra”, confiesa Ortiz, fundador de Península 360 Press, que ha cubierto la frontera de forma intermitente durante décadas. Conduciendo hacia el suroeste desde San Antonio, describe helicópteros sobrevolando y vehículos militares a lo largo de la carretera.
La semana pasada, la policía estatal encontró un cadáver pegado a una de las boyas fronterizas.
El gobernador de Texas, Greg Abbott, inició la Operación Lone Star (Estrella solitaria) en marzo de 2021 en respuesta al aumento de los cruces fronterizos. En mayo de ese mismo año, Abbott emitió una declaración de desastre y posteriormente envió tropas de la Guardia nacional a la frontera. Dos agencias estatales, el Departamento de Seguridad Pública de Texas y el Departamento Militar de Texas, están a cargo de la operación. Cuando 16,000 migrantes llegaron repentinamente a Del Rio en noviembre de 2021, Abbott envió 10,000 guardias a la frontera en respuesta. Del Río está a unos 55 kilómetros al norte de Eagle Pass.
“Los únicos ganadores de las acciones de Abbott parecen ser los traficantes de personas”, declaró Ortiz durante una conferencia de prensa étnica de EMS. Hablando con los migrantes, señaló que los traficantes de personas, llamados coyotes, solían cobrar 500 dólares por persona para cruzar la frontera. El precio ha subido a 1,500 dólares, dice, después de que se instalaran las barreras flotantes.
Al otro lado de la frontera, Ortiz señaló que las autoridades mexicanas parecen “no estar haciendo nada contra los traficantes”, y añadió que hay rumores no verificados de que funcionarios locales podrían estar implicados en el tráfico.
Manuel Ortiz, fundador de Peninsula 360 Press, informa que incluso aquellos en Texas que están a favor de una fuerte seguridad fronteriza encuentran las nuevas políticas del Gobernador Abbot demasiado extremas.
Una ‘app con fallas’
La administración Trump esencialmente dejó de procesar las solicitudes de asilo a lo largo de la frontera sur de Estados Unidos durante la pandemia invocando el Título 42, una orden de salud pública que permitía la expulsión inmediata de los migrantes.
Ese programa fue finalizado en mayo. Posteriormente, la Administración Biden anunció que los solicitantes de asilo tendrían que concertar una cita con el Servicio de Aduanas y Protección de Fronteras, CBP, a través de una aplicación móvil antes de llegar a la frontera.
Gianna Borroto es la principal abogada del Consejo americano de inmigración (AIC). Es una situación imposible”, afirma, describiendo la aplicación CBP One como una “medida cruel” diseñada para limitar quién puede solicitar asilo en este país.
AIC y sus socios presentaron el 27 de julio una demanda colectiva ante el tribunal de distrito del Distrito Sur de California en relación con la aplicación CBP One. La demanda cuestiona la política de la administración Biden de rechazar en los puertos de entrada a los solicitantes de asilo que no han concertado una cita. La demanda nombra a diez demandantes que alegan que no pudieron lograr programar una cita.
Además de un teléfono inteligente (smartphone) se necesita acceso a internet para usar la aplicación. Muchos migrantes viven en campamentos sin electricidad ni agua y mucho menos servicio de Internet. Borroto dice que muchos migrantes no tienen dinero para comprar recarga (minutos) para sus teléfonos porque necesitan lo que tienen para comprar comida.
También mencionó una serie de problemas con la aplicación CBP One. Un hombre no pudo obtener soporte técni-
co, sólo líneas de código; una mujer lo intentó todos los días durante meses pero no pudo conseguir una cita; la aplicación funciona en tres idiomas pero los migrantes fronterizos hablan 20 o más, así que a menos que hablen inglés, español o creole, es inútil; la aplicación no se actualiza fácilmente y se congela a menudo.
“El acceso al asilo no puede limitarse a la lotería de una aplicación para teléfonos inteligentes”, afirma Borroto. Una sentencia reciente en un caso similar de 2017 le da esperanzas. Una versión anterior de una política de rechazo que limitaba el acceso al asilo en la frontera fue declarada ilegal y en violación de la Constitución de Estados Unidos.
Borroto afirma que la AIC presentó la demanda para proteger el derecho fundamental a solicitar asilo, consagrado tanto en el derecho estadounidense como en leyes internacionales.
Gianna Borroto, abogada principal de litigios del Consejo Americano de Inmigración, explica algunos de los muchos problemas que plantea la nueva aplicación CPB One de la agencia de Aduanas y protección de fronteras de Estados Unidos, que todos los solicitantes de asilo deben utilizar para iniciar el proceso de asilo.
Una historia de racismo
El profesor y escritor Cal Jillson es una reconocida autoridad en política tejana y en la política de la frontera sur de Estados Unidos. “La situación actual en la frontera se ha repetido muchas veces a lo largo de la historia de Estados Unidos”, afirmó Jillson.
Estados Unidos siempre ha sido racista, y ese racismo ha influido durante mucho tiempo en las actitudes hacia la inmigración, afirmó.
“Benjamín Franklin dijo cosas terribles sobre los inmigrantes alemanes en Pensilvania en la década de 1750. Los irlandeses fueron maltratados en las décadas de 1840 y 1850. Los asiáticos fueron excluidos por completo desde la década de 1880 hasta bien entrada la de 1950”, explicó Jillson.
Señaló que en el siglo XIX, el pensamiento de la mayoría blanca dominante en el país era efectivamente ‘si son blancos, vengan’.
“Pero incluso a principios del siglo XX, cuando la economía estadounidense era fuerte y se necesitaba mano de obra, se recibía a gente a través de la frontera de México a Estados Unidos con la presunción de que trabajarían barato y volverían a casa cuando el trabajo estuviera terminado”.
Cal Jillson, catedrático de Ciencias Políticas de la Universidad Metodista del Sur y autor de varios libros, entre ellos el de próxima publicación “Race, Ethnicity, and American Decline” (“Raza, etnia y decadencia estadounidense”), ofrece su punto de vista sobre las razones por las que el gobernador de Texas, Greg Abbott, ha implementado una medida antiinmigración tan punitiva en la frontera sur de Texas.
A partir de la década de 1950, los trabajadores inmigrantes empezaron a quedarse todo el año.
“Veo los acontecimientos actuales en la frontera como parte de una ambivalencia estadounidense –especialmente de los estadounidenses blancos—sobre la inmigración, en concreto sobre la inmigración de personas no blancas… y siempre ha sido así”, afirmó.
En lo que respecta a la inmigración como cuestión política, Jillson considera que los republicanos tienen ventaja. Su mensaje es sencillo: nos oponemos a la inmigración ilegal y nos preocupa la inmigración legal. “Es una especie de calcomanía en un parachoques con un lema político”, dijo.
Los demócratas, por su parte, esperan que la inmigración no se convierta en el tema principal de la próxima carrera presidencial. Tienen un reto mayor para hacer su posición más políticamente apetecible, dijo Jillson, con una coalición más compleja, algunos de los cuales “reconocen que la acusación republicana de que los demócratas defienden las fronteras abiertas es un asesino político”.
Son los republicanos quienes establecen políticas de fronteras cerradas, señaló Jillson, y es probable que siga siendo así durante algún tiempo.

But here’s the problem: It’s not enough to see the deposit was made to your account; it takes banks days at least to actually clear that check deposit. And if the check proves to be no good, you have to pay that money back to your bank.
And meanwhile, guess what? Those gift cards you sent out went right back to the scammers and are almost impossible to recover by the time you learn their check bounced.
Sometimes something as simple as providing personal information winds up costing you. Sure, it seems reasonable that someone offering you a job might want your Social Security number, or information on where you bank so they can pay you with a direct deposit to your account, or other personal information such as your name and address, information for a background check, etcetera.
But the people requesting the information might only be doing so to then sell it to another criminal operation, and making their money that way. So be very careful about what you disclose until you’re confident you know who you’re dealing with. Coming forward to report scams
And don’t fall for claims there’s been a problem delivering something you maybe didn’t even order. Clicking on a link accompanying such a text or email just provides the scammer new ways to reach you and collect your data, or know you might not be wise to them yet.
In general, if you get emails, text messages or telephone calls from names or numbers you don’t recognize, your safest bet is just to ignore them.
Mendez described the case of a recent immigrant, eager to work, who was taken in by a Spanish-language TV ad for “Moda Latina,” that got people to put up money for luxury goods they could then sell at a profit.
When she became interested and called the advertiser, she was soon threatened that she’d made a commitment, and had better have a money order ready when they delivered the box of jewelry for her to sell.
So, she got the $299 money order, but the package she got in exchange didn’t live up to Moda Latina’s 14-carat promises. When she called them on it, all she got was an offer to sell her pricier things, with similar promises.
Considering how often victims don’t even want to report having been robbed to people whose job is to help them, it was noteworthy that this particular person intended to tell her story herself at the briefing, an unusually brave move.
Making a report won’t impact anyone’s immigration status, the FTC speakers said, and they strongly encouraged everyone to report any suspicions they might have to ReportFraud@ftc.gov and ReporteFraude/ftc.gov (ReporteFraude.ftc.gov-presentarreporte), whether they’re the intended victim or only worried for a friend, neighbor or relative.

By order of this Court you are hereby cited to appear before the Hon. Jackie Arroyo, judge presiding in Dept. 13 of the Court located at 191 N. First Street, San Jose CA 95113, on August 23, 2023 at 11:00 a.m., then and there to show cause, if you have any, why UNIQUE JOYCE MARIE MANCILLAS, should not be declared free from your parental control and custody, for the purpose of freeing UNIQUE JOYCE MARIE MANCILLAS for placement for adoption. The following information concerns rights and procedures that relate to this proceeding to declare minor free from your parental control and custody as set forth in Family Code § 7860, et seq.:
1. At the beginning of the proceeding, the Court will consider whether or not the interest of the minor requires appointment of counsel. If the Court finds that the interests of the minor do require such protection, the Court will appoint counsel to represent him, whether or not he is able to afford counsel. The minor will not be present in Court unless he requests or the Court so orders.
2. If a parent of the minor appears without counsel and is unable to afford counsel, the Court must appoint counsel for the parent, unless the parent knowingly and intelligently waives the right to be represented by counsel. The Court will not appoint the same attorney to represent both the minor and his parent.
3. The Court may appoint either the Public Defender or private counsel. If private counsel is appointed, he/she will receive a reasonable sum for compensation and expenses, the amount of which will be determined by the Court. That amount must be paid by the real parties in interest, but not by the minor, is proportioned as the Court believes to be just. If, however, the Court finds that any of the real parties in interest cannot afford counsel, the amount will be paid by the county.
4. The Court may continue the proceeding for not more than Thirty (30) days as necessary to appoint counsel and become acquainted with the case.

Q&A: CINEQUEST FILM & CREATIVITY FESTIVAL BRINGS ENERGIZED SUMMER SCREENINGS TO SAN JOSE AND MOUNTAIN VIEW, WITH NEW DISCUSSIONS ON ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND 82 WORLD AND US PREMIERES
Cinequest CEO and Co-founder Halfdan Hussey Brings Us the Updates on This Year’s Summer Celebration, From the Extension Into Mountain View, Artificial Intelligence and Filmmaking, and How the Hollywood Strikes Have Affected the Festival
Arturo Hilario El Observador
TheCinequest Film & Creativity Festival will have one last romp in the summer sun before returning to its usual March date next year. Taking place August 15-30, the festival that will host 253 films, red carpet premieres and discussions on artificial intelligence will be in San Jose for the first week before moving to Mountain View’s ShowPlace Icon theater for its second week.
Cinequest CEO and Co-founder Halfdan Hussey recently took some time to update us on what’s new this year in terms of lineups, the new satellite festival site in Mountain View, how artificial intelligence can be a tool used in filmmaking, and how the SAG strikes have affected the film festival circuit.
More information on the festival and tickets are available at cinequest.org.
What worked about the setting of last year's festival in the summer to bring it back again for the same time period this year?
The summer events have been determined strictly because of the Pandemic because it changed our scheduling. It takes us nine to twelve months to produce one of the festivals. In terms of the in-person, last year was exciting to come back. And then we learned a few things. Some of them are kind of funny. We learned that it's hot in August! We had this beer and wine garden. This incredible beer and wine garden is set up from 11:00am-5:00pm every day. But of course it was 99, 100 degrees so we learned that “okay, this year when we do things outdoors, it's going to be at night, okay. Because it's August, if people are going to be outdoors, they want to do it in the evening or after the sun sets.” So that's something we learned. And we're doing a couple of big parties under the stars, which I'm really excited about.
The opening night party is going to be a block and a half away from the venue, from the screening venue, and we're doing it out, as I mentioned, outdoors with music and food and drinks and lighting and the same on Saturday night, we've got a big theme party called Cinequest Energize. So we've never done outdoors parties and I'm really excited about doing that. We've done them in other locations to promote Cinequest. And we've never had a chance to do it in San Jose during the festival because we've always been in March and it's too cold and it gets dark too early.
Oh, and we also have another great venue this year. So one of the nice things about the summer is getting inside into a nice, cool venue. The first half of the festival is in downtown and our beautiful venues of the California and the Hammer, those are big places with big events. But then the second part of it we have at the Icon multiplex, which is a fantastic multiplex in Mountain View. So we really have tremendous venues. So that is a huge plus. We haven't had a state-of-the-art multiplex since the Camera 12 closed down in San Jose.
Those are the things those are things we learned, and we learned that last year, don't make people do things outdoors when it's 100 degrees, but take advantage of doing things at night. And we're going to do that and have a nice multiplex for them to enjoy as well.
What brought you guys to choose Mountain View as a second location for this year's Cinequest?
Well, it's so representative of Silicon Valley. Not that San Jose isn't I mean, San Jose, my God, the companies that we have in San Jose now that are world leaders in technology, but it really is the epicenter, Mountain View and Palo Alto. As you know, Google is right around our venue, and so it also is a symbolic thing. We have filmmakers and artists that come in from 55 countries for this and people from many places. And I think it's great for them to have these two places, this great city, San Jose, and those beautiful venues, but then to be right there for part of it, right in the heart of the Google, Silicon Valley, Palo Alto, you know, energy, that's really cool as well.
So I just think that it's a perfect location, and I also think it's perfect that we're not doing them at the same time. A week in downtown San Jose and a week at the Icon of Mountain View because for a couple years we tried having a venue in both San Jose and another location at the same time. And that split people apart too much.
They really didn't like that. So this way people can stay together, keep the energy in the community but just different places and keeps it fresh.
Because there are two locations now there are two opening nights. Can you touch on why that is?
Yeah, we just symbolically wanted to do something to kick off the first time we were in the Icon. But the opening night at the California Theater on August 15 with Fresh Kills and the party after that is really super special. I mean, we have a film Jennifer Esposito is coming to, the director and producer. She's also been a big TV and film star. And we have a film about women in the mob. Not women girlfriends of the mobsters, but the women in the mob in the that's a very amazing subject and a very entertaining and exciting film. We have this beautiful venue, the California Theater, this palace. We'll have an organist playing beforehand. We'll have the film, the Q&A with makers of the film and then the big party a block and a half away. Food and music, dancing, whatever you want to do. Incredible drinks, of course, and lots of security, too, because people always want to know about that. “Is it secure? Yeah, very secure.” So it will just be a really fun, outdoors celebration. And the film, because it's about Italian women, we're going to have Italian food for the catering and it should be a great time.
And then the flip side of that is on the 24th we have opening day at the Icon and we're going to have a symbolic opener there with the film called Sometimes I Think About Dying with Daisy Ridley. And it's a great Silicon Valley kind of story. First of all, she's a Star

Wars star, okay? So that really ties her into Silicon Valley. But second, it's a film about a woman whose pretty darn shy. In fact, she's really shy and doesn't really have the social skills to build friendships.
And here's this guy who is very interested in her, very nice person and he has to break down a lot of barriers to get her to even listen to him. So it's that kind of a love story about good people and how sometimes some folks are not equipped with some of the social skills that makes things like dating easy. So it's a really nice movie like that. And I think that Silicon Valley will really enjoy it.
The theme of this year is the term ‘energized’. Can you touch on why that was chosen for this year?
Yeah, I feel like people have had their energy depleted, their good energy, by things like the pandemic global striving and wars, news media and other things.
So I think that that really has drained people. And so we thought ‘energized’ would be a great theme. Let's get back together. Let's do what Cinequest does. We get all kinds of folks together from all walks of life, just the opposite of battling each other. We're just sharing and celebrating and enjoying great movies and fantastic people and all these artists that are out to present their films. So that's the energy of Cinequest. It always has been and it's such a great art form for that because it represents people from all around the globe and all walks of life and ways of thinking and so it's fantastic. And I always love that Cinequest is all ages, too. It's always been this cool party of different kinds of people because a lot of times when you go to a party or a club, whatever you go to, sometimes the people are a little bit alike, maybe the same age group, maybe whatever, but not at Cinequest.
I mean, the people are really so fun to see all these different kinds of people. You come with friends or meet new ones. There's just so many things that make it more than a movie. And so we hope that people, when they come, feel very cared for and they feel energized by the experience. And of course, then people will energize others, the artists that come and the audiences, they'll share with each other and they'll provide that energy.
The core of Cinequest is what you're talking about, the social aspect, the artistry of the films. The other part is the attachment to Silicon Valley and showcasing new technologies. In the past you've featured the latest in audio and video technology for theaters, virtual reality, and now this year’s “Artificial meets Human Intelligence” conversations. I was wondering if you can touch on that.
The concept is that where technology meets art and film and technology is always having an impact on media and art. And in AI, right now we have an example of things it can do to help the film process and television process and things that are scary to people and perhaps negative.
I mean, we have the writers on strike and now the SAG actors have joined them. And one of the issues is, "hey, we don't want some AI coming in and writing an episode for a television show that we created and you not paying us." And things like that are not attractive to the writers. And I don't think that a tool, even though it can certainly emulate things like, “okay, well, I can emulate making a poem with an AI tool.” Okay, we've seen that kind of thing. But that's not the same as a human being having a human experience, writing something that you're going to connect with and then rewarding those writers by allowing them to continue to write the episodes for their TV shows. So
there's an example.
An example of it being a positive in the world of film is there are some nice tools that are not perfect yet, but they're getting there, which they can upres film material and photographs. So maybe you shot something that wasn't of today's current technical standards. Well, you can upres it and get it there.
We shot an interview with JJ. Abrams when he won his Maverick Spirit Award, and of course, it was one of the greatest conversations we've ever had. So inspiring. Love to share it with the world. But the film technology we were using at that time is not to current know entry level standards. So with this AI tool, we can upres it. There are traditional ways of upresing, too but they're extremely expensive.
Another example is we have this Polish film festival, the name of which I can't remember, and they have come up with an AI technology to do a better job of dubbing their movie into foreign languages. And a lot of international filmmakers, we just assume, see it subtitled because the dubbing is always so terrible when they try to dub it.
So when you have bad dubbing, it takes you out of the film, it takes you out of the experience. So they've created a technology to perfect the dubbing process so it feels more organic to the actor. But there's some examples of negatives and positives.
But when it's a tool, in my humble opinion, it's great. When you try to replace human beings, it sucks. And I don't think it's effective because I think human intelligence is unique and the human experience is unique to why we watch movies and read books.
How have these creator strikes affected Cinequest?
We will find a way to make every challenge work for us and to serve people. We have a ton of people coming out, artists and films. Global actors are not under contract with SAG. Directors and producers can come. There's no problem with that. American independent actors that are not SAG can come. The ones that we would call American star actors are going to be SAG signatory. And part of the strike regulations was that SAG actors cannot attend film festivals.
Now, I'm not going to get into my feelings about that, but I don't understand why they come with that restriction. Maybe because they just didn't want the actors out there at all. I don't know. But certainly festivals don't pay them. Our actors come because they want to be here. But that's the way it is. So we had some major movie stars that were planning to attend, and if the strike is called off, they'll attend, and if it's not, they won't. But Cinequest will be a great experience regardless. We'll have plenty of great actors, plenty of amazing actors in films and the wonderful people that make it happen.
We have 82 US and world premieres, so we don't have a shortage of experiences for people. But, hey, we hope it clears up in time. Is there any last note you'd like to leave us on?
Well, the whole point of doing this is to serve people, and the people are what make it great. So I just welcome folks to come and enjoy, it's going to be a big hit, and they're going to absolutely love it.
Q&A: CINEQUEST FILM & CREATIVITY FESTIVAL TRAE PROYECCIONES DE VERANO ENERGIZADAS A SAN JOSÉ Y MOUNTAIN VIEW, CON NUEVOS DEBATES SOBRE INTELIGENCIA ARTIFICIAL Y 82 ESTRENOS MUNDIALES Y ESTADOUNIDENSES
El director ejecutivo de Cinequest, Halfdan Hussey, nos trae las actualizaciones sobre la celebración de verano de este año, desde la extensión a Mountain View, la inteligencia artificial y el cine, y cómo las huelgas de Hollywood han afectado el festival
Arturo Hilario El Observador
ECinequest Film & Creativity Festival tendrá un último retozo bajo el sol de verano antes de regresar a su fecha habitual de marzo el próximo año. Del 15 al 30 de agosto, el festival que albergará 253 películas estará en San José durante la primera semana antes de mudarse al teatro ShowPlace Icon de Mountain View para su segunda semana.
Este año marcará el segundo verano en que el festival se lleva a cabo en agosto, y su tema, 'Energizado', se refleja en sus eventos nocturnos de verano, dos noches de apertura, 253 películas y una serie de conversaciones "La inteligencia artificial se encuentra con la humana".
El CEO de Cinequest, Halfdan Hussey, recientemente se tomó un tiempo para actualizarnos sobre las novedades de este año en términos de alineaciones, el nuevo sitio del festival satelital en Mountain View, cómo la inteligencia artificial puede ser una herramienta utilizada en la realización de películas y cómo las huelgas del SAG han afectado al circuito de festivales de cine. Más información sobre programación y boletos están disponibles en cinequest.org.
¿Qué funcionó acerca de la configuración del festival del año pasado en el verano para traerlo nuevamente en la misma época este año?
Los eventos de verano se determinaron estrictamente debido a la pandemia porque cambió nuestra programación. Nos lleva de nueve a doce meses producir un festival. En términos del presencial, el año pasado fue emocionante volver. Y luego aprendimos algunas cosas. Algunas de ellas un poco graciosas.
¡Aprendimos que hace calor en agosto! Teníamos este jardín de cerveza y vino. Este increíble jardín de cerveza y vino se instala todos los días de 11:00 a. m. a 5:00 p. m. Pero, por supuesto, eran 99, 100 grados, así que aprendimos que “bueno, este año cuando hagamos cosas al aire libre, será de noche, está bien. Debido a que es agosto, si la gente va a estar al aire libre, quiere hacerlo por la noche o después de que se ponga el sol”. Así que eso es algo que aprendimos. Y vamos a hacer un par de grandes fiestas bajo las estrellas, por lo que estoy muy emocionado.
La fiesta de la noche de apertura será a una cuadra y media del lugar de la proyección, y lo haremos afuera, como mencioné, al aire libre con música, comida, bebidas e iluminación y lo mismo el sábado por la noche, tenemos una gran fiesta temática llamada Cinequest Energize. Así que nunca hemos hecho fiestas al aire libre y estoy muy emocionado de hacerlo. Los hemos hecho en otros lugares para promocionar Cinequest. Y nunca hemos tenido la oportunidad de hacerlo en San José durante el festival porque siempre hemos estado en marzo y hace demasiado frío y oscurece demasiado temprano.
Ah, y también tenemos otro gran lugar este año. Entonces, una de las cosas buenas del verano es entrar a un lugar agradable y fresco. La primera mitad del festival es en el centro de la ciudad y en nuestros hermosos lugares de California y Hammer, esos son grandes lugares con grandes eventos. Pero la segunda parte la tenemos en el multiplex Icon, que es un multiplex fantástico en Mountain View. Así que realmente tenemos lugares tremendos. Así que eso es una gran ventaja. No hemos tenido un multiplex de última generación desde que Camera 12 cerró en San José.
Esas son las cosas que aprendimos, y aprendimos que el año pasado, no hagas que la gente haga cosas al aire libre cuando hace 100 grados, sino aprovecha para hacer las cosas de noche. Y vamos a hacer eso y tener un buen multiplex para que ellos también disfruten.
¿Qué los llevó a elegir Mountain View como segundo lugar para Cinequest de este año?
Bueno, es tan representativo de Silicon Valley. No es que San José no sea, quiero decir, San José, Dios mío,
las empresas que tenemos en San José ahora que son líderes mundiales en tecnología, pero realmente es el epicentro, Mountain View y Palo Alto. Como saben, Google está cerca de nuestro lugar, por lo que también es algo simbólico. Tenemos cineastas y artistas que vienen de 55 países para esto y gente de muchos lugares. Y creo que es genial para ellos tener estos dos lugares, esta gran ciudad, San José, y esos hermosos lugares, pero luego estar ahí en parte, justo en el corazón de Google, Silicon Valley, Palo Alto, ya sabes, la energía, eso también es genial.
Así que creo que es un lugar perfecto, y también creo que es perfecto que no los estemos haciendo al mismo tiempo. Una semana en el centro de San José y una semana en el Icon of Mountain View porque durante un par de años intentamos tener un lugar en San José y en otro lugar al mismo tiempo. Y eso separaba demasiado a la gente.
Realmente no les gustó eso. Entonces, de esta manera, las personas pueden permanecer juntas, mantener la energía en la comunidad pero solo en diferentes lugares y mantenerla fresca.
Debido a que hay dos ubicaciones, ahora hay dos noches de apertura. ¿Puedes comentar por qué es eso?
Sí, solo queríamos simbólicamente hacer algo para comenzar la primera vez que estuvimos en Icon. Pero la noche de estreno en el California Theatre el 15 de agosto con Fresh Kills y la fiesta posterior es realmente súper especial. Quiero decir, tenemos una película a la que vendrá Jennifer Esposito, la directora y productora. También ha sido una gran estrella de cine y televisión. Y tenemos una película sobre mujeres en la mafia. No las mujeres novias de los mafiosos, sino las mujeres en la mafia en el que es un tema muy sorprendente y una película muy entretenida y emocionante. Tenemos este hermoso lugar, el California Theatre, este palacio. Tendremos un organista tocando de antemano. Tendremos la película, la sesión de preguntas y respuestas con los creadores de la película y luego la gran fiesta a una cuadra y media de distancia.
Comida y música, baile, lo que quieras hacer. Bebidas increíbles, por supuesto, y mucha seguridad también, porque la gente siempre quiere saber sobre eso. “¿Es seguro? Sí, muy seguro. Así que será una celebración al aire libre muy divertida. Y la película, porque se trata de mujeres italianas, vamos a tener comida italiana para el catering y debería ser un gran momento.
Y luego, la otra cara de eso es que el día 24 tenemos el día de la inauguración en el Icon y vamos a tener una apertura simbólica allí con la película llamada Sometimes Think About Dying con Daisy Ridley. Y es una gran historia de Silicon Valley. En primer lugar, ella es una estrella de Star Wars, ¿de acuerdo? Eso realmente la une a Silicon Valley. Pero segundo, es una película sobre una mujer bastante tímida. De hecho, es muy tímida y no tiene las habilidades sociales para entablar amistades.
Y ahí está ese chico que está muy interesado en ella, una persona muy agradable y tiene que derribar muchas barreras para que ella lo escuche. Así que es ese tipo de historia de amor sobre buenas personas y cómo a veces algunas personas no están equipadas con algunas de las habilidades sociales que facilitan las cosas como las citas. Así que es una película realmente agradable como esa. Y creo que Silicon Valley realmente lo disfrutará.
El tema de este año es el término 'energizado'. ¿Puede comentar por qué se eligió eso para este año?
Sí, siento que a la gente se le ha agotado la energía, su buena energía, por cosas como la pandemia, el esfuerzo global y las guerras, los medios de comunicación y otras cosas.
Así que creo que eso realmente ha agotado a la gente. Entonces pensamos que 'energizado' sería un gran tema. Volvamos a estar juntos. Hagamos lo que hace Cinequest. Reunimos a todo tipo de personas de todos los ámbitos de la vida, justo lo contrario de luchar entre nosotros. Simplemente estamos compar-

tiendo y celebrando y disfrutando de grandes películas y de gente fantástica y de todos estos artistas que salen a presentar sus películas. Así que esa es la energía de Cinequest. Siempre lo ha sido y es una gran forma de arte porque representa a personas de todo el mundo y de todos los ámbitos de la vida y formas de pensar, por lo que es fantástico. Y siempre me encanta que Cinequest también sea para todas las edades. Siempre ha sido esta fiesta genial de diferentes tipos de personas porque muchas veces cuando vas a una fiesta o a un club, donde sea que vayas, a veces las personas son un poco parecidas, tal vez del mismo grupo de edad, tal vez lo que sea, pero no en Cinequest.
Quiero decir, la gente es realmente muy divertida de ver todos estos diferentes tipos de personas. Vienes con amigos o conoces nuevos. Hay tantas cosas que lo hacen más que una película. Y así esperamos que la gente, cuando venga, se sienta muy cuidada y se sienta energizada por la experiencia. Y por supuesto, entonces la gente energizará a los demás, los artistas que vienen y el público, compartirán entre ellos y brindarán esa energía.
El núcleo de Cinequest es de lo que estás hablando, el aspecto social, el arte de las películas. La otra parte es el apego a Silicon Valley y la exhibición de nuevas tecnologías. En el pasado, presentó lo último en tecnología de audio y video para teatros, realidad virtual y ahora las conversaciones de este año "La inteligencia artificial se encuentra con la humana". Me preguntaba si puedes tocar eso.
El concepto es que donde la tecnología se encuentra con el arte y el cine, la tecnología siempre tiene un impacto en los medios y el arte. Y en IA, en este momento tenemos un ejemplo de cosas que puede hacer para ayudar al proceso de cine y televisión y cosas que asustan a las personas y quizás son negativas. Quiero decir, tenemos a los guionistas en huelga y ahora los actores de SAG se les han sumado. Y uno de los problemas es, "oye, no queremos que una IA entre y escriba un episodio para un programa de televisión que creamos y no nos pagues". Y cosas así no son atractivas para los escritores. Y no creo que sea una herramienta, aunque ciertamente puede emular cosas como, "está bien, bueno, puedo emular hacer un poema con una herramienta de inteligencia artificial".
Bien, hemos visto ese tipo de cosas. Pero eso no es lo mismo que un ser humano teniendo una experiencia humana, escribiendo algo con lo que te conectarás y luego recompensando a esos escritores permitiéndoles continuar escribiendo los episodios de sus programas de televisión. Así que hay un ejemplo.
Un ejemplo de que es algo positivo en el mundo del cine es que hay algunas buenas herramientas que aún no son perfectas, pero están llegando ahí, que pueden mejorar el material de la película y las fotografías. Así que tal vez filmaste algo que no estaba dentro de los estándares técnicos actuales. Bueno, puedes aumentarlo y llevarlo allí.
Grabamos una entrevista con JJ. Abrams cuando ganó su premio Maverick Spirit y, por supuesto, fue una
de las mejores conversaciones que hemos tenido. Tan inspirador. Me encanta compartirlo con el mundo. Pero la tecnología cinematográfica que estábamos usando en ese momento no está al día con los estándares de nivel de entrada conocidos. Entonces, con esta herramienta de inteligencia artificial, podemos mejorarlo. También existen formas tradicionales de sublevación, pero son extremadamente caras.
Otro ejemplo es que tenemos este festival de cine polaco, cuyo nombre no recuerdo, y han ideado una tecnología de inteligencia artificial para hacer un mejor trabajo al doblar su película a idiomas extranjeros. Y muchos cineastas internacionales, simplemente asumimos, lo ven subtitulado porque el doblaje siempre es terrible cuando intentan doblarlo.
Buying a home can sometimes seem like an unreachable goal. When you work with Tri Counties Bank, your local Home Mortgage Loan Specialist will walk you through products and resources designed for aspiring homeowners. It’s part of our commitment to helping our local communities grow and thrive through the power of homeownership.
Entonces, cuando tienes un mal doblaje, te saca de la película, te saca de la experiencia. Así que han creado una tecnología para perfeccionar el proceso de doblaje para que se sienta más orgánico para el actor. Pero hay algunos ejemplos de aspectos negativos y positivos.
Pero cuando es una herramienta, en mi humilde opinión, es genial. Cuando intentas reemplazar a los seres humanos, apesta. Y no creo que sea efectivo porque creo que la inteligencia humana es única y la experiencia humana es única por lo que vemos películas y leemos libros.
¿Cómo han afectado estas huelgas de creadores a Cinequest?
Encontraremos una manera de hacer que cada desafío funcione para nosotros y para servir a las personas. Tenemos un montón de gente saliendo, artistas y películas. Los actores globales no tienen contrato con SAG. Pueden venir directores y productores. No hay problema con eso. Pueden venir actores independientes americanos que no sean SAG. Los que llamaríamos actores estrella estadounidenses serán signatarios del SAG. Y parte del reglamento de huelga era que los actores del SAG no pueden asistir a los festivales de cine.
Ahora, no voy a entrar en mis sentimientos al respecto, pero no entiendo por qué vienen con esa restricción. Tal vez porque simplemente no querían a los actores ahí. No sé. Pero ciertamente los festivales no les pagan. Nuestros actores vienen porque quieren estar aquí. Pero así son las cosas. Así que teníamos algunas estrellas de cine importantes que planeaban asistir, y si se cancela la huelga, asistirán, y si no, no lo harán. Pero Cinequest será una gran experiencia a pesar de todo. Tendremos muchos actores geniales, muchos actores increíbles en las películas y las personas maravillosas que lo hacen posible.
Tenemos 82 estrenos mundiales y estadounidenses, por lo que no nos faltan experiencias para las personas. Pero, bueno, esperamos que se aclare con el tiempo.
¿Hay alguna última nota que te gustaría dejarnos? Bueno, el objetivo de hacer esto es servir a las personas, y las personas son las que lo hacen grandioso. Así que invito a la gente a que venga y disfrute, será un gran éxito y les encantará.
