The Nogales International Film Festival – in Ambos Nogales May 13-17 – is set to bring stories from both sides of the border back to the big screen this year, including “Fantasía Americana,” a Nogales, Sonora, feature film migration drama produced by Fernanda López, and “They Wait,” a new indigenous horror short film written, directed and produced by Navajo filmmaker and medicinal person David J. Aberle.

The two artists’ paths trace how border communities and Native traditions are finding their way onto festival screens through grassroots, independent work and long-standing cultural practices.

Officials from Pima JTED listened to pleas to slow down — and countered that they could not afford to — in a study session Tuesday about their consideration of putting a bond before voters.

Superintendents from two member districts urged the JTED governing board to pump the brakes and refocus on engaging all stakeholders thoughtfully before going out for a bond. But board members and JTED administrators said they had to start expanding now, citing a large waitlist of students who could miss out on career and technical education.

"Does it make sense to try and whittle at the waiting list through these existing resources, so that when we have a bond, we've exhausted all of that and we have a clear vision of why we're building new buildings and expanding central campuses?" Sahuarita superintendent Manny Valenzuela asked.

"I don't think we have the luxury of time," JTED board member Rob Schlanger said.

In a Nogales workshop on Morley Avenue packed with scraps of worn denim, artist Esteban Michel is quietly building oceans. His latest exhibition transforms one of the world’s most used fabrics – denim – into monumental marine landscapes that invite viewers to confront the human and environmental cost of fast fashion.

Displayed at @pidginpalacearts in Tucson through May 9, 2026, Michel’s exhibit, “Blue Denim Blue World Blue Peril,” consists of three pieces quilted from discarded denim depicting larger-than-life underwater scenes.

“I would like for people to leave feeling motivated in some way,” Michel said. “I don’t hate denim. I myself use it … I don’t want the world to stop using it, but instead simply assume a bit more responsibility when consuming things. Maybe that’s the answer: responsible consumption.”

The downtown streets of Nogales served as the backdrop for the city’s fifth annual marathon event April 25. Organized by the @0s3movement, the race reached a new milestone this year with the debut of a half-marathon alongside the traditional 10K, 5K and kids' runs held in previous years.

The event had 1,200 registered runners depart from the 0S3 Youth Center on Morley Avenue, beating last year's 1,000 participants — the highest number to date. With friends, family and spectators supporting runners, the event drew close to 4,000 people on the temperate, breezy day, with nearly 30% of participants traveling from outside Santa Cruz County, according to event organizers.

The Greater Nogales Santa Cruz County Port Authority is pushing for a DeConcini port modernization.

Federal officials have already finished a feasibility study – funded in March 2022 by Congress – and are now funding a detailed environmental review for what could be a $1.5 to $2 billion overhaul.

If it moves forward, the project could possibly raise the port, push it deeper into Nogales, move the end of Interstate 19 and force a rethinking of how the city’s downtown and Morley Avenue function.

On a recent Wednesday afternoon, Richard McPherson pulled aside a sophomore who had just turned 16 while the rest of his class filed off the school bus.

At the Rio Rico High School farm, compliant with child labor laws, turning 16 means you get handed a weed-eater.

Students get more and more responsibility as they go through McPherson's agricultural science program, which offers an opportunity to jump start careers in a number of high-paying industries --- an opportunity that students can't get anywhere else in Santa Cruz County.

"These four years are such important years in their journeys as people," McPherson said. "I know that they were good students when their grandkids have a better life because of the time they spent in these classes. This program changes generational poverty. It breaks that cycle."
