Digital Gym Cinema is San Diego's last stronghold for truly independent film programming. This weekend it proves that point with a Bonkers Half-Assed Midnight screening of the 1995 cult classic "Mosquito" on Saturday and the iVIE Awards and Student Film Festival on Sunday. I mentioned "Mosquito" on last week's Midday Movies, but I will shout it out again since it is screening this Saturday.

The 13th San Diego International Fringe Festival closed on Sunday with an awards show honoring artists from more than 40 shows. I saw 39 of the 48 shows that ran, and thanks to my friend Amy Fan (who won the Spirit of the Fringe Award for volunteering her time to film shows), I was also able to watch a half-dozen more shows. Picking the best of the Fringe this year was tough.
