CASA 0101 PRESENTS THE 2012 REEL RASQUACHE ART & FILM FESTIVAL
The 2012 Reel Rasquache Art & Film Festival (RRAFF) returns to East Los Angeles thanks to the presenting sponsorship of Casa 0101. In its 9th consecutive year, RRAFF12 will take place May 18-20, 2012 at the newly expanded Casa 0101 located near the corner of 1st and St. Louis Streets.
Bringing together independent filmmakers from across the country with Latino advocates in the entertainment industry, the Reel Rasquache Art & Film Festival showcases films by or about the U.S. Latino experience in all genres and formats – animation, dramatic and documentary shorts and features, experimental, webisodes, and, introducing this year, a forum on cell phone filmmaking. In addition to around-the-clock film programs, the weekend-long festival will include live music and dance, a Youth Filmmakers’ Showcase, filmmaking workshops, directors’ roundtable, an art exhibit, networking receptions, and the annual closing night award ceremony that recognizes leaders, pioneers, and trailblazers in U.S. Latino film and art.
CALL FOR FILMS – EXTENDED DEADLINE
RRAFF12 will continue accepting submissions through Friday, March 23, 2012. Submission forms can be downloaded at the festival website, www.reelrasquache.org.
