L A N D S C A P E S
South of the Border or North, Their Futures Are Linked






There's nothing dry about "Mixed Feelings," a half-hour documentary about urban development in Tijuana, Mexico, and San Diego. The film concerns two contrasting urban landscapes that have " an inevitable common future," Phillip Rodriguez, its director, said. Wry commentary from wistful Mexican and Mexican-American architects is set to Tijuana's punchy Nortec music (a mix of techno and norteña, the music of the border) and snappy digital imagery. "Mixed Feelings" can be seen on PBS stations in May.
