Over two decades, the former Saratoga mayor built a community of supportive gardeners
Aradhita Singh, Intern
As you approach former Saratoga mayor Jill Hunter’s front door, you can’t help but notice her blooming backyard garden basking in the sun.
Step inside, and her keen eye for plants is obvious. They are the center of attention.
What else would you expect from someone who’s spent decades gardening throughout town?
“The village looked tired, very tired,” Hunter said, reflecting in her sitting room adorned with antique dolls against walls painted muted colors. “And the flowers perked it up.”
Hunter has a passion for breathing life into things.
“When I moved here 44 years ago, I thought this village was the most beautiful,” she said, explaining she originally arrived from New York.
“I thought the village looked like New York, and that's why I moved here.”
LGHS BASEBALL PLAYERS HITTING ON ALL CYLINDERS
Wildcats set sights on De Anza three-peat
Emanuel Lee, Sports Editor
In the first practice following a 6-1, eight-inning loss to Serra High School on March 1, the Los Gatos High School baseball team impressed its coach, Mike Minkel. ➝ Saratoga, 14
“The Serra game we had five errors—four of those throwing errors,” he said. “So the first thing we incorporated in the next practice was going through a drill series sequence where they had to run it through perfectly. Anytime we made a mistake, we’d start from the beginning.”
After a long stretch, the coach-
ing staff eventually had to pull the players off the field.
“It was a testament to the players and how they play the game,” Minkel said. “It was a pretty intense practice and they loved every second of it. It was surprising to me because we weren’t do-

DA DECLINES TO CHARGE STANFORD STUDENT FOR REPORTING ON PRO-PALESTINIAN PROTEST
No evidence Gohill “did anything other than cover this event as a journalist”
Drew Penner, Editor
The Santa Clara County District Attorney has declined to formally charge Stanford University student journalist Dilan Gohill for covering on a pro-Palestinian protest last year, after he faced allegations of committing multiple felonies.
The student, who was reporting for the Stanford Daily, a student-run newspaper, was alongside a group of protesters who barricaded themselves in a school building, according to prosecutors. The DA’s Office said students broke furniture, spattered fake blood and covered a security camera during the demonstration.
“This Office supports a free press and recognizes that the law gives reporters latitude to do their jobs in keeping the public informed,” District Attorney Jeff Rosen said in a release. “We have no evidence that this student did anything other than cover this event as a journalist.”
The reprieve for Gohill comes as President Donald Trump has demanded educational institutions crack down on protests, or lose funding.
Estimates suggest more than 60,000 Palestinians and more than 1,900 Israelis have been killed in the Israel-Hamas war.
Charges for other participants in the Stanford protest may be forthcoming, as the DA’s Office is still completing its review.
Last June 5, at 5:30am, protesters broke into the locked Building 10 at 450 Jane Stanford Way on the Stanford campus, where the president’s office is located. They barricaded themselves inside and began livestreaming and posting to social media, prosecutors said, adding the journalist was also
present and reported at least one story.
The Stanford University Department of Public Safety responded to the scene and requested mutual aid from the Santa Clara County Sheriff’s Office and the Palo Alto Police Department, the DA’s office said. Officers arrived on scene, broke through the barricades and started arresting people.
On Oct. 10, the Stanford Daily published an editorial that read, “It has been 127 days since Daily reporter Dilan Gohill ’27 was arrested while reporting on a pro-Palestinian student
group’s occupation of the president’s office. Despite attending in his capacity as a reporter, Dilan still faces three suspect charges from the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office in addition to disciplinary proceedings from the University.”
Stanford University estimated repair costs rose above $700,000.
The Daily editors put things this way:
“We commend the student bodies for their support of Dilan, who was present at the June 5 demonstration solely in his capacity as a Daily reporter and
bore and presented valid press identification at all times. Dilan did not participate in or plan the demonstration and had no prior knowledge of protesters’ plans to enter Building 10. He entered only to report the news and was unable to leave once barricaded inside by the 12 demonstrators who entered it first.”
Bill Grueskin, a former Wall Street Journal editor, cautioned Stanford about “entering into a situation where they’re prosecuting a journalist who is at the scene of a newsworthy event doing his job.”

DEVELOPMENT AT LOS GATOS LODGE SITE APPROVED
With Badame recused, SummerHill’s residential project supported unanimously
Drew Penner, Editor
Los Gatos Council approved a 155unit multi-family residential development for the site of the Los Gatos Lodge hotel at their regularly-scheduled meeting, March 4.
After an official for San Ramon-based SummerHill Homes, LLC boasted it had received unanimous support for the project at Planning Commission, Rob Stump, one of the newest members on that body, said he wasn’t at that meet-
ing—and if he had been he wouldn’t have voted to recommend it.
In fact, he said during public comment, he would’ve recused himself, because he previously worked on a plan to put a secondary access to Los Gatos High School through the site.
SummerHill’s proposal includes a bike and pedestrian route to and from the school, and an emergency-only access for vehicles.
Mayor Matthew Hudes seized upon this new line of attack on the development, pressing project officials on why they didn’t work a secondary road to LGHS into the design.
At one point he even explored ways
issues. “It takes about 20-25 minutes to empty the parking lot out daily.”
Because of the proximity of her home, Councilmember Mary Badame recused herself.
For Councilmember Rob Rennie, this was a good development, all things considered.
It will include 26 below market price units, in multiple categories.
Vice Mayor Rob Moore called it a “thoughtful” project, and said from his perspective it “only” provides 155 new homes.
“I think this is a pretty good way to build 155,” he said. “When I see this sort of development…I see a place where I could see myself potentially living one day…This is a good location. I appreciate that the evacuation route was worked in.”
Plus, he added, Los Gatos could face legal consequences if it rejects the project.
“We would be in violation of State law and would likely be sued,” he said.
Councilmember Maria Ristow emphasized that—based on when it was submitted—the developer gets to build to the prior density level for the site (20 units per acre), not what the Town recently upzoned it to (30-40 units per acre).
The land would’ve also made a great place to build taller, she added.
But, Ristow said she likes how the design includes two-, three- and four-bedroom options, as well as homes for a variety of income levels.
“I love the way that the low- and moderate-income homes are integrated into each building,” she said. “It just all blends together, which is just sort of like what my street is like.”
Rennie made the motion to approve the project. Ristow seconded it.
to potentially deny the project based on safety grounds.
And he got the applicant to admit their surveys did not take into account beach traffic to Santa Cruz in the summer.
However, SummerHill said they followed the scope of work for studies provided by the Town of Los Gatos.
In an interview with the Los Gatan, Stump said he wished his idea of a road to the high school would have gotten more traction.
“I’m in no way shape or form against development,” he said, suggesting a secondary road would’ve relieved pressure on Los Gatos Boulevard during a wildfire—and would improve school traffic
In the end, Hudes said it did seem like Council was being compelled by State law to allow the developer to realize its vision.
(While the SummerHill initially pointed out it could use the so-called “Builder’s Remedy”—because it filed a pre-application during the period when Los Gatos was out of compliance with Housing Element law—the developer didn’t end up invoking this. It did, however, use SB 330 to win a number of concessions).
The motion passed 4-0. John Hickey, vp of development for SummerHill Homes, spoke with the Los Gatan shortly after the decision.
“We think it’s going to be a great addition to Los Gatos,” he said. “It’s exciting to know that the project is closer to fruition.”

COMMUNITY RALLIES AROUND POLICE FORCE
Foundation says ball was its most successful ever
D inah C otton , Contributor
On Saturday evening, the Los Gatos Monte Sereno Police Foundation held the 6th Annual Los Gatos-Monte Sereno Police Officers Ball and Auction. This event was held at the opulent digs of Testarossa Winery.
The Don Olivet Jazz Quartet kept the mood relaxed the entire evening. Somehow, the sound of jazz can also motivate.This was indeed the perfect tone for the evening, adding to the ambiance of reserved elegance.
FASHION SENSATION
Most of the gentlemen wore black ties. There were a few very stylish sports
jackets, with even one bolo tie noted.
The ladies were mostly in black, with many gowns featuring sequins, a few stunning strapless varieties, and a very few donned early spring colors.
However, the sensation of the evening was Officer Todd Fleming in his prototype honor guard uniform. Later on in the evening, he also modeled the SWAT team helmet.
A gourmet four course sit-down dinner was prepared by Testarossa Winery Executive Chef Nadiv Geiger and served with grace by the attentive staff.
This superb meal was also thoughtfully paired with the delectable wines Testarossa is known for producing.
THE CHIEF & THE AUCTION
This evening we witnessed a rare
Funds were raised, folks.
Even Knowles appeared taken aback at how quickly the money poured in. Two members of the department were demonstrating how the armored helmet protects SWAT team members.
“We raised funds for 15 heavily-armored SWAT team helmets at a cost of $2,000 each,” Knowles said.
LGMSPF holds this event to further their mission of “supporting our community by providing funding for public safety tools and educational outreach,” as Knowles explained, adding, “I can say with confidence that this was the most successful police officers ball from a fundraising perspective.” The Department is also seeking assistance in obtaining honor guard dress. In addition to raising funds, this celebration provided a camaraderie, where you could see old friends.
COUNCIL PRESENCE
event, Chief Field was out of uniform in an elegant black dress.
She spoke briefly, acknowledging the members of the force in attendance and their roles within our community.
Foundation President Jonathan Knowles conducted the live auction. Some items were available for purchase online, while some were up for live bidding.
Live auction items included: stays in luxury vacation homes located in Lake Tahoe, Mexico, Carmel Valley, San Diego and Disneyland; local dining-out packages; Jazz in the Plazz front-and-center reserved seats; Monterey Bay Aquarium guided tours; SF Giants incredible behind-home-plate seats; golfing at La Rinconada; and even original art.
Mayor Hudes, Vice Mayor Rob Moore and Councilmember Ristow were present and engaged.
Ristow stated, in a Facebook post, “The 6th Annual Los Gatos Monte Sereno Police Foundation Officers Ball on Saturday evening was an elegant success! The sellout crowd efficiently and effectively raised serious money to support the safety and responsiveness of our community-focused department. The Foundation members and the officers in attendance are the best ambassadors of what great policing can be.”
One of the best things about living in the Town of Los Gatos is the ability to interface with our kaleidoscope of personalities, and to enjoy the security of knowing that we are safe.
All of that, and much more, was on display at this weekend’s ball.

HOW TO RESPOND WHEN SOMEONE ASKS ‘THE QUESTION’
Priya Pasumarthy, Contributor
“Where are you from?”
It’s a common question, and one that can be quite loaded for people of diverse ethnicities.
On its face, it’s a plain question based on curiosity, filled with nostalgia, or awe.
But it could also carry covert racism and hatred, carrying the connotation of, You don’t belong here; you need to get back to your place.
The question can stir up mixed emotions for readers pertaining to their own good, or difficult, experiences. Sometimes the way it’s asked causes discomfort, or might seem instigative. Other times, the tone leaves us to think twice and make us think, better not to answer. You might decide to leave, just to be safe. It can leave a bad impression—or even a scar.
It’s natural to want to answer carefully. After all, each word we utter matters.
The most common reasons for the question can be placed into visible and invisible categories. Visible factors are things like skin tones, clothing, social status, accent, demeanor and faith markers. Invisible factors include things such as mindset, prejudices or biases based on personal experiences.
Ad
The truth is, you’ll come up against a combination of visible and invisible factors on an ongoing basis, whether you know it or not. Plus, inter-intra continental/political relations, media and other platforms subtly influence us, to various degrees. And it’s possible that one factor, or a combination of both the factors, could be prompting the question.
Keep in mind that there are moments where people’s intentions are loud and clear, while in other cases they might not be.
Sometimes people aren’t even aware of how sensitive this area is for some. But other times, the person asking doesn’t care whether they are making people feel uncomfortable with the query at all—which is a shame. In this case, the question should be met back with, ”Where are you from?”
Never forget: you get to decide how to respond. Through introspection of the hidden power of “the question”—and by consciously filtering out negative undertones— you can steer the conversation in a positive direction.
We build community through our words; through our actions we set an example for one another.
What matters is that, at the end of the day, we did our part to build a harmonious society that can be bequeathed to the next generation.

ON THE INDUSTRY’S
CUTTING EDGE, WITH CINEQUEST CO-FOUNDER HALFDAN HUSSEY
South Bay film festival selections put the spotlight on new technology
Sharan Street, Metro SV San Jose’s homegrown film festival, Cinequest—which is on now through the rest of March—will feature some 250 movies from 45 different companies. More than 100 of these are premieres of one kind or another.
Cinequest is also a showcase for new technology—“a discovery bastion” not only for filmmakers but also tech innovators. “It’s been a big part of what we do,” says Cinequest co-founder Halfdan Hussey.
“We were the first to showcase the digital filmmaking revolution and that entire workflow change, from analog to digital to IP delivery of files. We did the first film festival online in 2005. Mobile cinema, AR and VR—we’ve done so many of these things,” he says.
For the festival’s opening night on March 11, Cinequest partnered with MIT on a program of seven very short films based on the theme of dance and movement.
Asked what impressed him the most, Halfdan mentioned “Clown,” which had the most visual pizzazz. Overall, he says, the most successful projects used voiceovers. “That is the thing that AI can’t do really well,” he explains.
As a tool, artificial intelligence might have the most impact in projects with special effects or animation, which are expensive to create.
“The best films I’ve seen in the past decade have not been live action films; they have been animation, for my taste,” Hussey says. “If you start bringing in AI tools that are speeding up those processes, allowing things to happen cheaper, it allows more artists to do high-end animation and opens it up to small groups.”
AI, he says, can “take a poem and generate more poems off of these patterns—but it isn’t living the human
experience. What a real artist does is they bring their take on the human experience and express that.”
Hussey points out that, if one searches online for lists of the greatest movies ever made, almost every one has nothing made in the last 15 years.
Even after more than three decades of watching the art of filmmaking evolve, Hussey is optimistic about the future.
“I think we’re gonna see a breakthrough in great artistry in film again,” he says, asserting, “we see a lot of great films every year and discover them at Cinequest.”
He adds, “I think the new generations are really primed to do innovative and great work.”
Hussey says this year’s Socials series is a great place for artists to meet the audience.
Getting a film into Cinequest is a major event for most, Hussey adds. “Ninety percent of the film artists that come, this is the unveiling of their artistic child; and they’re usually just incredibly excited about it—
and nervous…even established luminaries who have done 10 great movies are nervous.”
Take Joe Burke, for example. On Sunday, March 16 at 2:05pm at the Hammer Theatre Center, San Jose, he’ll enjoy the world premiere of “Burt,” a father-son comedy “with a bit of a twist.” The movie co-stars Burt Berger, a friend of the director’s who— like the character in the movie—is a 70-year-old street musician living in Los Angeles with Parkinson’s disease. “The movie is a love letter to him, his wonderful music, and to my own dad, who is also living with Parkinson’s,” Burke states.
Another project drawing inspiration from friends and family is director Nick Cassidy’s “Childish Things,” which will premiere March 16 at 3Below Theaters. The film follows a struggling musician embarking on a cross-country road trip who begins to question his long-term relationship. Cassidy cast his real friends and family in the movie, and his 22-year-old brother handled cinematography and editing.
Family is a focal point for Anna Campbell’s Cinequest offering. The filmmaker moved to Los Angeles to have it all—a dream career, two children, and a perfect life—but returned to her hometown of Portland in 2020. She explores the resulting emotional dynamics through the title character in “Nora,” which plays March 15 at 6:45pm in the Hammer Theatre Center and March 18 at 12:20pm in 3Below Theatres.
All genres are included in Cinequest, including the British sci-fi comedy “Time Travel Is Dangerous,” screening March 12 at 7:05pm and March 14 at 4:15pm at the California Theatre. At the screenings will be writer-director Chris Reading and writer-producers Hillary and Anna Shakespeare. The cast includes Tom Lenk (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”) Jane Horrocks (“Absolutely Fabulous”), Sophie Thompson (“Four Weddings and a Funeral,” “Gosford Park”), Brian Bovell (“Love Actually”) and other British comedic actors.

TALENTED TEAM
Sports, from page 1
ing anything out of punishment. We just wanted to emphasize how important it is to play catch and stress the basic fundamentals, because they have such a drastic impact on the scoreboard. Ever since, we’ve been much better at taking care of the baseball.”
Of that, there is no doubt. Los Gatos entered this week’s play with a 5-1 record, recording victories over traditional powers Aptos and Santa Teresa in the process. The Wildcats are the two-time defending Santa Clara Valley Athletic League De Anza Division champions, having gone 24-4 during
that time. They traditionally have a team that can contend with any of the top West Catholic Athletic League squads, and this year is no exception.
It starts with a top-notch pitching corps, which has been nothing short of sensational this season. Senior Matt Ludeman had eight strikeouts over 2 innings in a 7-4 win over Santa Teresa on March 6, a display of power and quality stuff.
“Matt has come back this year and is throwing the ball a little harder,” Minkel said. “He’s sharpened up his off-speed stuff and is not shy about attacking the (strike) zone. He’s a guy who’s going to come right after you.”
Ethan Williams returns as one of the top juniors in the Central Coast Section. His sophomore season fea -
tured several dominant starts, and this year looks to be more of the same.
“Ethan Williams was exceptional for us last year as a sophomore, and he’s gotten even sharper this year,” Minkel said. “It’s always good when you have that coming back. He’s not a guy that’s going to overpower you; but he doesn’t have to, because his pitchability is off the charts. His knowledge of hitters—to read hitters and read swings and have a feel for all of his pitches in any count—is outstanding.”
Senior Tre Golino, a Cal Berkeley-commit, is expected to have a sizable impact this season. Similar to what then-senior Anthony Andrews did last year, Golino has the ability to start and close—a valuable asset to a team in search of its first CCS title since 2009.
“Tre can be a spot starter or close like he did versus Santa Teresa and slam
the door for us,” Minkel said. “He’s got a live arm and is ready to take on a much larger role for us both in starting when we have those three-game weeks but also in high-leverage, end of the game situations when we need him to come in and slam the door.”
Gavin Seiler has produced some quality innings and Chase Oberthier has been a breakout performer.
“Each year we talk about there being one guy who comes out of nowhere and is a big bright spot, and Chase has been that guy for us,” Minkel said. “He’s got a very aggressive mentality but is very quiet by nature. I probably haven’t heard him say more than 20 words all year. But he has this alter ego when he gets on the mound where he’s just super intense and super competitive.”

In terms of position players, Minkel can’t think of a deeper and more balanced unit than his current roster.
Senior leadoff hitter/outfielder Zach Biller, a Willamette University-commit, has already made some highlight-reel catches while being an impact player offensively.
‘Rowen is one of the better catchers
I’ve ever had’
—Mike Minkel, coach
Lucas Carlisle, Brady Simon and Rowen Smith rank in the top three on the team in both batting average and on-base percentage. Simon, a junior center fielder, battled some nagging injuries last year, which limited his production. However, Simon has come on strong this season.
“For Brady, it’s just a matter of staying healthy,” Minkel said. “He’s very talented, knowledgeable and has a really good feel for the game. I don’t think he was ever quite fully healthy last year, but this year he’s gotten off to a hot start and is able to show what he’s capable of.”
Carlisle, a senior third baseman, has made an impact both offensively and defensively. Smith, a junior catcher,
went 5-for-5 in the season-opener and hasn’t cooled down. Minkel has high praise for Smith’s catching prowess.
“Rowen is one of the better catchers I’ve ever had,” Minkel said. “He’s good at receiving and controlling the pitching staff, good at throwing, and exceptional at blocking balls. One of the best I’ve ever seen at this level for sure.”
Will Temple, Beau Musser and Justin Mazzaferro have all made valuable contributions in a variety of ways. Musser, a junior utility, had a spectacular football season last fall and looks to be equally impactful in baseball.
“Beau Musser is one of the players that make our offense go,” Minkel said. “He’s very energetic, very fast twitch, but never allows the emotion of the game to get too big for him. So, we’re excited to see what kind of offensive and defensive spark he provides for us. He’s a great addition to our ballclub.”
Mazzaferro is the youngest of three brothers to come through the LGHS baseball program. Capable of producing powerful swings, Mazzaferro can play a number of positions, including catcher, first base and the outfield.
Minkel said the depth and balance on the squad means he’s rarely putting together the same lineup two games in a row.
“In 17 years as a baseball coach, I’ve never had a team that was so deep from top to bottom,” he said. “I feel like I can put anyone in the lineup at any spot and really be competitive. We have a plethora of guys with experience and a great group who work really hard in practice.”

I'm a freshman at Los Gatos High School, and, as part of a Boy Scouts project for Troop 339, I've decided to contact you about a subject of concern: the ongoing housing developments in Los Gatos.
Many of Los Gatos’ citizens feel these developments are negatively impacting the town, creating a lower quality of life in the area through increased driving times and other factors.
Los Gatos has always had a unique charm, with open spaces and oldtimey feelings. However, with these big changes—from the seven-story
Adapartment building that’s proposed, to the hundreds of units being built at the North 40 site along the highway—I'm worried the identity of our town will be forever altered.
As teenagers, we see this affecting the time it takes to get to school, with an increased possibility of being late for class (having to sit in a car for 20 minutes just to go 2-3 miles).
The scale of the proposed development will create many hassles and could ruin the "mountain feel" that we all enjoy.

HUNTER PROMOTES JOY WITH FLOWERS
Saratoga, from page 1
But by 2005, she says her town of Saratoga had become a little dreary. She decided it was time to enliven the place a little.
The appearance she loved so much had lost some of its lustre. So, she decided to embark on a gardening campaign.
Starting out, she faced many headaches. Including from the City Council.
Hunter says she once even had the police called on her for simply putting lights up on trees. “They didn't like the fact that we were rummaging around their town without asking permission,” she said.
Along with winning over Council members, Hunter knew she needed to raise funds to support the vision she held for Saratoga.
She reached out to hundreds of people and ended up raising $40,000.
Eventually, even the Council came around to her initiative.
“As time has gone on, they've adjusted well,” she said. “And they now love what the results are.”
The place brightened up, as more volunteers joined—not only from Saratoga but from other communities, too.
Soon, gardening became a weekly activity, where residents met on Tuesday at 10am to spend an hour on beautification tasks.
The group even puts on events for the children of the town.
They hold two main events every year, one for St. Patrick’s Day, and one for Halloween.
Both see amazing turnout, and leave the children who attend with core memories.
In addition to impacting their community, the club also competes in the national America in Bloom competition. The nonprofit organization sends judges to different towns and cities throughout the country who evaluate each on their horticulture, historic preservation and community vitality.
In its very first year participating, Saratoga won for its population category, including Saratoga won in the 30,000 to 40,000 population category, including for “best tree canopy” and “best overall impression.” Hunter was thrilled.
“We won a lot of tree prizes,” she said.
Hunter also gives back to the community in other ways, as well, such as by helping out a fellow gardener.
John was the only paid volunteer
in the club, which helped him find living arrangements.
Over the years, Hunter has helped Saratoga shine, bringing it fame for its beauty.
Even after so many accomplishments, she’s still planning new projects. Her next mission? Hanging baskets along Big Basin Way.
“I'm hoping by May,” she said. “May or June, and then they stay up until October.”
For the past twenty years, Jill Hunter has spread beauty through gardening. “It makes me happy, and all the other women I work with— and the men. I think it has given them fulfillment and—as we age—to have something to do. That gives us a bonding together.”
The community of Saratoga has flourished through Hunter’s work, and it continues to leave a positive impression on all who visit to this day.
IN BLOOM As winter comes to an end, Jill Hunter shared her story of beautifying Saratoga with the Los Gatan.

ON THE WATER
The comedy
“Canoe Dig It?” is about a competition in northern Maine of the “freestyle canoeing” variety.
Fans of horror and suspense will find entries from filmmakers near and far. Traveling from Nashville, brothers Trey and Chad McClarnon are eager to show off their debut feature horror film, “The Other People,” about a young woman who marries a widower and encounters unwelcome co-inhabitants. “The Other People” screens March 22 at 9:15pm in the California Theatre, and again on March 23 at 11:30am.
Another film that explores just how scary a home can be is Scottish actor and filmmaker Harry Aspinwall’s “The House Was Not Hungry Then,” a horror story set in an abandoned home near where he grew up. His directorial debut, it also has its world premiere on March 22, screening at 4pm at 3Below.
Among other artists traveling from abroad to premiere their work is Oriane Hermange, who grew up in a small French fishing village with working-class grandparents and “learned early on what it means to fight for a dream.” That sentiment has been transmitted in the short feature “Should I Stay or Should I Go?,”

THIRD ANNUAL HITCHCOCK FESTIVAL HAPPENING IN SCOTTS VALLEY
Community pays tribute to former resident and worldfamous director
Mathew Chipman, Good Times Santa Cruz County has been the backdrop for various horror movies, most famously “Lost Boys,” “Killer Klowns from Outer Space” and, more recently, Jordan Peele’s “Us.” But its deepest connection to Hollywood involves the ultimate master of the macabre.
Back in the 1940s, director Alfred Hitchcock bought a 200-acre estate in Scotts Valley. For 30 years it was his getaway from Hollywood. And three years ago, a group of film lovers started a local festival to honor Scotts Valley’s most famous resident. Now in its third year, the Alfred Hitchcock Festival takes place this week, exploring the work and celebrating the legacy of the legendary filmmaker whose career spanned six decades and more than 50 films.
Coming back to The Landing, the newly rebranded theater space located on the edge of Scotts Valley’s picturesque Skypark (see page 16), the third annual Alfred Hitchcock Festival opens on March 14, two days after National Hitchcock Days.
The first event is a 7pm talk led by Hitchcock’s granddaughter, Tere Carrubba, local author Aaron Leventhal and historian Jay Topping about the legacy Hitchcock left behind.
“We’re excited this year that Hitchcock’s granddaughter, Tere Carrubba, will be talking about her grandfather at the beginning of the festival and what it was like to grow up visiting him in Scotts Valley,” event organizer Dave Hodgin.
At 8:15pm there will be a discussion about techniques employed for Hitchcock’s 1948 film “Rope,” led by UCSC film and digital media faculty member Logan Walker and assistant professor Shelley Stamp, an expert on women in film. After the discussion, “Rope” will be shown.
An experimental psychological thriller, “Rope” was captured using long shots and a single set to create the illusion that it was filmed in one take, building on the suspense of the original 1929 stage play of the same name it is adapted from. The film, based on true events, follows two college students who strangle their friend to death in a philosophical exercise and hide him in a chest before a dinner party with his fiancé.
Day two of the Hitchcock Festival begins with a 1pm talk by Jason Isrealowitz, author of “Nothing to Fear: Alfred Hitchcock and the Wrong Men,” where he will talk about his book, which follows the true-to-life story of Manny Baelstro, a Queensbased musician who was indicted for two robberies he did not commit. Hitchcock’s documentary-style retelling brought Baelstro’s story to the silver screen in “The Wrong Man,” a
1956 film starring Henry Fonda. Evening programming features a 6:30pm reception and gala including local beers and wines before a showing of “The Lodger: A Story of the London Fog,” with live accompaniment by pianist Kylan DeGhetaldi. The 1927 silent film, considered by many Hitchcockstorians to be “the first true Hitchcock film,” will be introduced by Bill Park, founder of the film studies program at Sarah Lawrence College.
“We’ll create the experience you would have seen when it came out 100 years ago,” Hodgin says.
Day 3 begins with a noon presentation by Australian filmmaker and “Hitchcock whisperer” Jeffery Michael Bays of “The Hitchcock 20,” a documentary series exploring Hitchcock’s television work.
A 1pm screening of three episodes from “Alfred Hitchcock Presents” concludes the weekend. The 30-minute episodes—“Bang You’re Dead,” “Breakdown”
and “One More Mile to Go”—pulled from the seven seasons of Hitchcock’s acclaimed TV series will be accompanied by complimentary mimosas.
As with the previous two festivals, the event is a fundraiser for the Scotts Valley Community Theater Guild. Tickets are available for single events or as a package deal that allows patrons to come and go as they please to catch the different speakers, galas, beverages and films throughout the festival.
“I think that many people will enjoy the festival, and I’m encouraging them to buy the three-day packet, which is $110,” Hodgin says. “Every day is packed with all kinds of interesting information and films they may not have seen before.”
The festival runs March 14-16. hitchcockfestival.com. CineLux Scotts Valley will screen “The Birds” March 11-13. cineluxtheatres.com.

The film screens March 15 at 2:30pm at the Hammer Theatre Center and March 21 at 12:10pm at 3Below Theaters.
From artsy short films to documentaries to narrative films, every color in the cinematic kaleidoscope is featured.

And different ages, different ways of thinking. I love that at Cinequest. There’s nothing homogenous about it.”
