The 2011 Reel Rasquache Art & Film Festival (RRAFF) extends its final film submission deadline to March 28, 2011 The festival will take place at the Regency Academy 6 Cinemas in Pasadena, California from May 13 – 15, 2011 and will be presented in association with Latin Heat Entertainment.
RRAFF proudly announces 2011 Sponsorships from The Walt Disney Company and MTA/Metro. With Metro Rail ticket or Metro Pass at the box office, Festival patrons will receive half-off all program admission fees.
Due to medical issues our previously announced Featured Artist, Gilbert "Magú" Luján will not join us this year. Our Featured Artist this year is now MARGARET GARCIA a Los Angeles resident who studied fine art at USC. She teaches and lectures throughout the region, and has produced a number of murals in the Los Angeles area. Her work has been included in numerous exhibitions in California, Texas, and Mexico, including her piece “Tree of Califas,” which adorns the Universal City Metro Station.
The focus of the 2011 Reel Rasquache Art & Film Festival will be in the spirit of the first Chicano superhero, as embodied in Robert Rodriguez’s groundbreaking film Machete. As a popular cultural phenomenon, Machete recasts such tired clichés as the “Latin Lover” and the “Spitfire.” Turning the tables on Hollywood conventions of gender, ethnicity, class, labor, and religion, Machete offers a uniquely provocative vision of the Latina/o collective anti-hero, whose heroic abilities are only as strong as the community’s empowering mobilization. The film intersects the performance careers of a virtual constellation of U.S. Latino entertainment industry established talent and rising stars.
Now accepting shorts, documentaries, full length features, animated films and web series.
