2ND ANNUAL CINEMA CULTURAS FILM FESTIVAL / INLAND EMPIRE • cinemaculturas.com
Letter from our Founder
Imagination propels the world, and the world is as big as we can
imagine it!
¡La imaginación hace que el mundo gire y el mundo es tan
grande como lo imaginemos!
This year’s theme ‘Let Your Imagination Fly’ is an invitation to know more about who we
are and to tell our stories as we imagine all that we can become. As we tell our stories,
there will always be magical moments, people, and spaces that move us toward our
dreams. Perhaps one of the first magical moments about cinema for me came when
I heard the story of a little girl, Rosalina, from Nayarit, Mexico, who couldn’t afford to
buy a movie ticket but who, with her brother Manuel, would sneak under the big tent
that covered the projector, and watch films with an audience that seemed to breathe,
cry, and laugh together in the darkness. My love for film germinated with this story of
Rosalina, my mother, and continued during my childhood in Sonora, Mexico, watching
black and white films with my grandmother,
Maria, an avid lover of films from Mexico’s
Golden Age.
Today, we celebrate the magic of cinema
with the second annual Cinema Culturas
Film Festival. Specifically, we are delighted
to announce the collaboration of Cineteca,
the General Consulate of Mexico in L.A., and
Cinema Culturas to bring the magic of films to
Southern California from the Coachella Valley
to Los Angeles. Cineteca, Mexico’s film archive
institute, will export films to be screened by
the General Consulate in L.A. in collaboration
with Cinema Culturas. Cinema Culturas is
thrilled to have the opportunity to have a
year-round presence in the community.
El tema de este año “Echa a volar tu imaginación” es una invitación a saber más sobre
quiénes somos y contar nuestras historias mientras imaginamos todo lo que podemos
lograr.
Al contar nuestras historias, siempre habrá momentos mágicos, espacios y personas
inolvidables que nos inspiren a realizar nuestros sueños.
Quizá uno de los momentos mágicos con relación al cine, para mí, fue cuando escuché
por primera vez la historia de una niña, Rosalina, de Nayarit, México, que al no tener
dinero para comprar un boleto y ver una película, se metía a escondidas por debajo de
la carpa acompañada de su cómplice, su hermano Manuel. Esta carpa, que cubría el
proyector que exhibía las películas que hacían reir y llorar al público en la oscuridad,
era un lugar mágico. Mi amor por el cine nació a raíz de esta historia y el de haber sido
criada por una abuela, María, amante de la Época de Oro del Cine Mexicano.
Hoy celebramos la magia del cine en nuestra segunda edición del festival Cinema
Culturas y anunciamos con entusiasmo la colaboración tripartita: Cineteca Nacional,
Consulado General de México en Los Ángeles y Cinema Culturas. El propósito de
esta colaboración es exhibir lo mejor del cine mexicano en el Sur de California,
desde el Valle de Coachella a Los Ángeles y tener una presencia constante en nuestra
comunidad.
Bienvenidos a su festival,

cinemaculturas.com • 2nd ANNUAL CINEMA CULTURAS FILM FESTIVAL / INLAND EMPIRE
About the festival
Cinema Culturas Film Fest / Inland Empire is an annual
event committed to promoting the artistic, academic,
and professional advancement of Hispanics and
providing a forum for the richness and variety of all
cultures, Spanish-speaking and non-Spanish speaking,
in the Inland Empire and Southern California.
Our project is unprecedented in the Inland Empire as
it uses a celebration of the artistic visions of Mexican
and Latino filmmakers to initiate fruitful dialogue
among communities about the dynamics of living in
the multicultural world of Southern California. We
showcase award-winning contemporary Mexican
films and co-productions with Latin American
countries, the U.S., and Europe, providing a local
forum with a global vision.
The program will include feature-length films,
documentaries, shorts, and animated films.
Community components of CCFFIE are its Mini Cinema
Culturas and annual student film competition
showcasing the best films of local high school and
college students and offering film workshops to local
youth led by filmmakers, other industry professionals,
and local academics.

Líderes Campesinas and Puente Program
Cinema Culturas is honored to collaborate with the following outstanding organizations this year that are agents of positive change and share with Cinema Culturas a
focus on education:
Líderes Campesinas en California
Known as Mujeres Líderes, as their mission is to develop leadership among
campesinas so they can serve as agents of political, social and economic change
in the farmworker community. This leadership has created an organization by and
for campesinas. The approach emphasizes capacity building, democratic decisionmaking, advocacy, peer training and leadership development as well as a mixture
of traditional and innovative education, outreach and mobilizing methods such as
house meetings, arts, and theatrical presentations at community venues.
Puente Program
The PUENTE Project is a national-award winning program that has helped tens of
thousands of educationally disadvantaged students enroll in four-year colleges and
universities, earn degrees, and return to the community as leaders and mentors
to future generations. Begun in 1981, Puente combines accelerated instruction,
intensive academic counseling, and community leadership opportunities.
The PUENTE Project helps to prepare educationally disadvantaged students for
college admission and success through its combination of accelerated instruction,
intensive academic counseling, and opportunities for community leadership. Puente
is open to all students.

Recent Collaborations
Cinema Culturas is going mobile!
We will be partnering with O. Micheaux
Airstream, a mobile cinema, to bring films
to unexpected places such as the fields of
Coachella Valley where farmworkers will be
invited to free outdoor showings. We will
also be inviting artists of color to participate
in this venture.
O. Micheaux Airstream is an off-the-grid
mobile artist workspace and pop-up cinema.
Anyone can rent the trailer on a sliding
scale; funds generated are then set aside to fund the residency program. The
trailer may be used as a set, performance space, workspace, mobile cinema, and/
or living quarters. Artists with projects that resonate with the mission may apply
for sponsorship and use the space for free (not including moving costs or utilities).
As we build a support fund all costs may be waived for sponsored projects. The
residency has been renovated by artist and filmmaker Lydia Marie Hicks during the
last two years. Lydia was inspired by the trailblazing African American filmmaker
Oscar Micheaux who created a response film to the wildly racist film Birth of a
Nation. He went on to create over 40 films independently as no studio would hire
a black director. O. Micheaux Airstream is a residency that seeks to create a safe
space and give resources to artists of color that are pushing the boundaries in film
and video.
Children’s Workshops
Cinema Culturas is excited to announce that
the children’s film workshops “Imagination,
Part 1: Reading, Writing and Filming” are
coming to San Bernardino in 2016! The
workshops will be offered at the Consulate of
Guatemala in San Bernardino.

Cinema Culturas would like to highlight the work of women cinematographers
this year. Our program offers a feature film, Seguir Viviendo, by Alejandra
Sánchez; three documentaries: La Danza del Hipocampo by Gabriela Dominguez
Ruvalcaba, Rediscovering the Scientist by Lydia Marie Hicks, Sunú by Teresa
Camou Guerrero; and a short film entitled Ramona by Giovanna Zacarías.
These filmmakers all create stories with a social conscience and present
them in aesthetically innovative forms. Their films also depict human
interconnectivity as they often highlight Latino communities in dialogue with
other communities of color.

gets scrapped into people and places to reveal the origins of
memory.
Los mecanismos de la memoria son misteriosos. Tratar de descifrar
su lógica es caminar en zigzag por el tiempo. Si pudiéramos elegir

héroe, Epigmenio Cruz, un mítico cantante de los años sesenta,
agoniza en algún hospital recóndito y convence a Sombra y a

Ever since the National University strike broke out, Sombra and
Santos have been living in an angst-ridden limbo. Educationless, motionless, purposeless, and unsure of what the strike will
bring, they begin to look for strange ways to kill time. But their
idiosyncratic routine is interrupted by the unexpected arrival
of Tomas, Sombra’s kid brother. Unable to fit in amongst these
older slackers, Tomas discovers that unsung Mexican folk-rock
hero Epigmenio Cruz has been hospitalized somewhere in the
city. Tomas convinces Sombra and Santos they must track him
down in order to pay their final respects on his deathbed. But
what they thought would be a simple trip to find their childhood
idol, soon becomes a voyage of self-discovery across Mexico
City’s invisible frontiers.

both needs them and disdains them. Sunú reveals how maize

make the choice unless they act soon.

engages science from myriad
perspectives, posing thoughtprovoking questions in multiple
voices: Who defines knowledge?
Who are its gatekeepers? Who
crafts the stories that tell us who
we are, where we come from,
and allow us the freedom to
imagine all that we can be in this
world? The inquisitive questions
raised by this extraordinary
documentary engage us with a fundamental problem in modern
society: the absence of minorities, black and brown voices, in the
systematic enterprise that we call science.
