CINESPIA PRESENTS ALFRED HITCHCOCK’S “NORTH BY NORTHWEST”
Hitchcock’s masterpiece was made at the peak of his career and is the perfect thriller.
Roger Thornhill, a bustling ad man, is mistaken for an agent and kidnapped by a ring of spies with a sinister plan. With the help of an alluring and clever but mysterious woman on a train he goes on the run, evading both the deadly spies and the police as he tries to uncover their plan and clear his name. Gripping, suspenseful but also very funny, NORTH BY NORTHWEST stands as Hitchcock’s greatest with one of the most iconic scenes in cinema. Directed by Alfred Hitchcock (1959, 2h 25m)

HOLLAND FESTIVAL
This is the oldest and largest family & friends picnic in California. It’s the 26th year that the Dutch community comes together. Friends and families of up to 4 generations have their reunion. Most of the people have roots in the Netherlands and the former Dutch East Indies (now Indonesia) and will gather to celebrate their shared heritage. People spend the whole day in the park where they have claiming their little space with their picnic blankets, folding chairs and gather around, sharing stories, laughter, listening and dancing to familiar Dutch and Indo Rock music. Another important reason why people keep coming are the traditional Dutch and Indonesian foods. When you ate enough you can either decide to burn off some of those calories on the dance floor or by strolling along the many vendor booths selling clothing, arts, crafts and many other things. Children always have a great time in the two bouncy houses.
Due to stricter rules by the park, the organization will not allow any alcoholic beverages and food to be brought into the venue. This will be strictly enforced. As always, there will be a beer stand and plenty of food booths inside. The doors open at 10am, and it is encouraged to get your food as early as possible.
