The festival will take place in March of 2006 at the Pacific Film Archive in Berkeley, CA and at Cinematheque in San Francisco, CA. For the first time last May we also collaborated with a non-profit Canadian film festival in Toronto to produce a curated program of shorts at Alucine, celebrating Latina and border breaking films.
Past festivals have proudly featured Shirin Neshat's video installation Fervor, Etang Inyang's Badass Supermama, Grounds by Dolissa Medina, Jennifer Thuy Lan Phang's Love Ltd., She Wants to Talk to You by Anita Wen-Shin Chang, Hair Stories by Yvette Smalls, Sabrina Dhawan's Saanjh-As Night Falls, Grace Lee's Barrier Device, Rosario Sotelo's Fabrication, Monique Walton & Andia Winslow's Still Black, At Yale, and Aradhana Seth's Dam/Age: A Film with Arundhati Roy.
