The Kaleidoscope
binational film festival is accepting short film entries through Aug.
16 for its second annual contest, bringing together filmmakers, critics
and adoring film fanatics for a one-of-a-kind artistic experience...
..."A lot of times, when you think of the United States and Mexico, you only think of the borderlands," said Peter Murrieta, the deputy director of The Sidney Poitier New American Film School. "This contest got us the opportunity to see short films about a mom who works in Wisconsin selling Mexican food to dairy farmers. It got us to see all different sides of that, and to understand the relationship, you`ve got to understand all the pieces."...
Last year`s grand prize winner, University of Wisconsin graphic
design student Miguel Barrios, made "My Hero, My Mother" for a homework
assignment. He submitted it to the film contest and was later flown out
to a ceremony in Washington, D.C. where he was awarded a grand prize of
$5,000, according to the Wilson Center.
