Saturday

Making its West Coast debut today at the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts is Philadelphia’s Koresh Dance Company. The troupe, headed by choreographer and dancer Ronen Koresh (no relation to the Waco guy), performs a blend of ballet, modern and jazz that is influenced by Koresh’s eclectic resume. Born and raised in Israel, he had early training in Yemenite folk dancing and studied with Martha Graham’s Bat Sheva Dance Company and the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.

8 p.m. $25-$45. 12700 Center Court Drive, Cerritos. (800) 300-4345.

Sunday

The Palm Springs International Film Festival ends
tomorrow, along with the perfect opportunity to see a wealth of foreign films.
Some of possible interest screening Friday and Saturday include “Patuvane kam
Erusalim,” (“Journey to Jerusalem”), a Bulgarian film about two young German
Jews trying to escape the Holocaust; “Moving Malcolm,” a Canadian film about
Gene, a Jewish guy whose fiancée leaves him at the altar; and two Israeli films,
“Massa’ot James Be’Eretz Hakodesh,” (“James’ Journey to Jerusalem”), and “Miss
Entebbe.” Or dub today “Palm” Sunday and catch “Un Monde Presque Paisible”
(“Almost Peaceful”), a French film about a little tailor’s shop in post-World
War II Paris. (760) 322-2930.
