🎬 Pan African Film Festival — Now Happening in Downtown Culver City

The Pan African Film Festival (PAFF) is in full swing — celebrating global Black stories through film, art, and culture.

📍 Downtown Culver City
📅 February 16–22, 2026
🎥 The Culver Theatre

From powerful independent cinema and documentaries to international features and emerging creators, PAFF brings together filmmakers, audiences, and communities from across the African diaspora.

✨ Expect:
• Bold new films and premieres
• Conversations with filmmakers
• Cultural energy and community connection
• Stories from Africa, the Caribbean, the Americas, and beyond

For Los Angeles, PAFF is more than a film festival — it’s a gathering place where creativity, identity, and shared stories come together on screen.

🎞️ Downtown Culver City is alive with film this week.

Credit to Some slides from the under construction Cities Illustrated Los Angeles Map.

The map will show all rail transit and all bus >15 min freq. lines. LA has a lot of these so this map is going to be insane.

These slides feature the San Bernardino Line (denoted as MB in brown)

The San Bernardino Line is a heavy rail commuter railroad line connecting the inland empire with Union Station in LA. Part of the line, mainly sections shown on slides 3 and 4 uses a single track ROW in the median of I10 which is such a north America moment.

I'm not sure if this section can be upgraded or even how but Metrolink does have plans to upgrade most of its track to allow for increased frequencies - in line with overall plans to prioritize California rail.

Also the San Bernardino Line will be your likely first leg of the future "LA" to Las Vegas HSR line. The line will begin in Rancho Cucamonga, about 90 mins east of union station on the SB line.
