With a Hispanic population of 42%, the Inland Empire is in need of quality entertainment that meets the need of the community,” says Dr. Cony Martinez, founder and director of Cinema Culturas Film Fest Inland Empire. Cinema Culturas Film Fest Inland Empire is a forum focused on producing film screenings and workshops that will spark fruitful dialogue about the dynamic multiculworld that Southern tural California has become. The forum will have a year-round presence in the community by providing film screenings and workshops with the annual film festival at the center point of the project. Students will also have an opportunity to submit their films to a professional forum through this year’s student film competition. Education is a strong emphasis in Cinema Culturas’ vision, especially with Dr. Martinez’s lifelong dedication to professorship at various institutions in Southern California. Cinema Culturas is also in collaboration with UC Mexus and University of California, Riverside’s A. Gary Anderson Graduate School of Management. Cinema Culturas will bring the first Latino Film Festival to the Inland Empire with workshops for the community, an unprecedented feat. The festival arrives this October 17-19 and will take place in the City of Riverside. Cinema Culturas Film Fest Inland Empire will open the festival with a gala at the Fox Theater on October 17, 2014 along with the screening of a feature length film open to the public. The gala will also donate fifteen percent of the proceeds to women in Puerto Peñasco, Sonora, Mexico who suffer from breast cancer. These women cannot afford the travel fees to receive treatment in the capital and die as a result. And with their collaboration with the Mexican General Consulates of Los Angeles and San Bernardino as well as the Mexican Institute of Cinematography, the event is expected to be a success by the local and international community. For the first time, we will bring these films to the Inland Empire.” For more information visit www.cinemaculturas.com
