On June 4-6, the Reel Rasquache Art & Film Festival (RRAFF) will celebrate its seventh year. 2010 marks the Festival’s growth from the campus of California State University, Los Angeles to Pasadena’s historic Regency Academy 6 Cinemas. Proud to continue in administrative partnership with California State University, Los Angeles, Reel Rasquache 2010 is honored to share this partnership with CASA 0101. Reel Rasquache is the first exhibition forum in Los Angeles, Southern California and the West Coast to focus on the U.S. Latino experience in film and art. The festival provides a unique opportunity for independent U.S. Latino filmmakers to showcase their work while building bridges – between East and West Los Angeles, between independent Latino filmmakers and the entertainment industry. Reel Rasquache brings together a broad base of community members, U.S. Latino film/video independents and entertainment industry representatives. This year’s offerings will include theatrical premieres of new works by Jesús Salvador Treviño, Sylvia Morales, Kenneth Castillo, and Vagabond, workshops on financing, marketing, and distribution, receptions and the 2010 Rasquache Awards. Save the Reel Rasquache website and visit it often for Festival program updates and announcements.
